[Advaita-l] [advaitin] Re: avidyA is adhyasta (superimposed) in AtmA

[Sudhanshu Shekhar]

Bhaskar prabhu ji.

Let us set aside everything and enquire.

Let me analyse some simple questions:

1. Is antah-karaNa anAtma?

2. Is anAtmA ajnAna-prasUta?

3. Can anAtmA be ajnAna-Ashraya?

Regards.
Sudhanshu Shekhar.
