………‘स्वेनैव कल्पिते देशे व्योम्नि यद्वत् घटादिकम् । तथा जीवाश्रयाविद्यां मन्यन्ते ज्ञानकोविदाः' इति । एतेन–यद्युत्पत्तिज्ञप्तिमात्रप्रतिबन्धकत्वेनान्योन्यापेक्षताया अदोषत्वं, तदा चैत्रमैत्रादेरन्योन्यारोहणाद्यापत्तिरिति—निरस्तम् ; परस्परमाश्रयाश्रयिभावस्यानङ्गीकारात् ।………

A pot for example, comes into being in the vast space and occupies a place even while containing (pot)space within it. In the same way the jiva comes into being and occupies a place in avidyA even while containing avidyA within itself.  Thus do the wise hold.


Ø    So as per this statement, jnAnakOvidAH hold the view that jeeva’s origination happens from brahman who is Shuddha but acquiring the avidyA or due to his intrinsic treasure called avidyA becomes jeeva!!  So as per this, the chAndOgya shruti statement : let me enter in the shape of this jeeva my own self and differentiate name and form and subsequent samanvaya in kArika and sUtra bhAshya goes for a big six!!  Please note statements relating to creation, entry into creation, sthiti and laya of the jagat are all meant to realize the unity of Atman not to establish the influence of avidyA.

Hari Hari Hari Bol!!!
