[Advaita-l] Fwd: Difficulty with Akhandakara Vrtti

[Durga Janaswamy]

Same question, a bit expanded:

In drustanta (द्रष्टांत), the tenth man realizes that  "I am the tenth" who is a limited person (परिछिन्न). 
In draastanta (द्राष्टांत), do I realize that I am Brahman, (who is अपरिछिन्न)?  If not, how the realization happens in this context?

Thank you and regards
