[Advaita-l] Fwd: [advaitin] How jnAnAbhAva can cause adhyAsa !!??

[H S Chandramouli]

Namaste Sudhanshu Ji,

Let there be AvaraNa. That itself means *absence of knowledge*
jnAna-abhAva. In fact that is the definition of AvaraNa in Advaita
SiddhAnta. Swami Sureswaracharya explains AvaraNa that way only. I need to
search for the citation. I cannot recollect offhand. It is certainly anAdi.
Not sAdi.
