Omm,

Avang Manasago

Gocharam

Athmanam

Akhila Dharam

Ashraibhistasidh I take refuge in the self, I take refuge in the self, the indivisible,

the existence, consciousness, bliss, absolute,

beyond the reach of words and thought

and the substratum of all,

for the attainment of my cherished desire.

So all for the attainment of my cherished desire.

So now we're going to start text number 122.

Things will become a little more difficult now on and also more quite interesting. In one sense, the real Vedantantha

starts from now. What we have got so far is we are being taught the text or the teacher is teaching

us by the method of superimposition and desuperimposition. Adhyaropa, Apavada. What is Adhhhhhara?

It's like seeing the snake on the rope. It's not a snake, but we mistake it to be a snake. That's called Adhya Ropa superimposition. Error, basically error. And de-superimposition or upavada is the negation of that error, the correction of that error, to see the false snake, that it's not a snake, it's actually a rope.

So Brahman, the only reality is Satchidharan and the Brahman and superimposition is seeing it as this world, as samsara.

Why would we do that? We don't want to do it. We are already in the midst of it. This is the method of correcting it.

So we are already in the midst of Smshara and we are in trouble and we want a way out and this is the way out.
