Samsāra as 'software' and the world as 'hardware' – both are mithyā – Bhāgavatam

After reading subject line, I was just wondering how these software and hardware terms already used in our ancient work like bhagavata 😊 then I realized it is something else intended to convey.  BTW, the rAga-dvesha as software is due to adhyAsa, the mithyAdarsha that is first there is agrahaNa as a result anyathA grahaNa and the result is suffering or enjoyment.  In rope snake analogy, lack of rope knowledge causes seeing the snake in place of rope and as a result shivering / sweating (suffering) etc.  Here it has to be noted there is something needs to be existed to experience all these software, hardware things.  Hence mAyAkAraya (rope) is the Ashraya for seeing the snake in place of it and resultant suffering.  If there is no rajju, shukti, Chandra there is no question of seeing the sarpa, rajata or second Chandra…

Hari Hari Hari Bol!!!
