So we are about to start the third chapter.

Somebody pointed out that this today starts my third year here.

I, yesterday I completed classes-wise, I mean, I have two years now in the center in New York.

Well, the third chapter of the Mandukya Karika which is four chapters.

The first one being Agamaprakarana, the chapter on the Upanishad itself.

The second chapter of Mandukya Karika is called Waitathya Prakarana, which means the chapter on the falsity of the universe and the third chapter is called

adduaita prakarana which means a chapter on non-duality and the fourth one is

called Alata Shanti Prakarana the chapter on quenching of the firebrand whatever

that is we'll see in time but the the third chapter, the chapter on non-duality.

You know, it's probably the most important chapter.

You might say that for everything, that's the most important.

But it's most important in the sense that this is what Vedant is all about, the absolute, the Atman,

Brahman, non-duality.

So this is the chapter on non-duality.
