and the substratum of all for the attainment of my cherished desire.

So we had a short, unanticipated gap. You remember that we had completed the

analysis of the great saying, that thou art, which sums up the entire or the essence of the teaching of Vedantha.

We also started the analysis of the statement, I am Brahman, which is enlightenment.

So once we are instructed with that thou art, the qualified student who has studied Vedantha,

should flash that, oh, I am this.

This is what I am.

So I am Brahman, this knowledge flashes.

That's what we were reading last time. In text number 170 and 71,

Adunah, Brahmasmi, it's anuha wakya, now we are going to talk about the
