Adhishtanam Asanga Advayatvam / Advitiyatvam Common features of substratum - A

• Lends Satta and Sphurti
• Lend support to Adhyasa
  • Unaffected, untouched. - Nondual Mithya Sanga Dvaitam Common features of “B” Adhyasa (Superimposed)
• No existence of its own.
• Only appearance, Nama / Rupa. - Appears in Adhishtanam.
• Where does knowledge come from in dream?
• Light called, Atma Prakasha, Jnanam, self, revealer, Chaitanyam.
• Reveals “objects of Dream” and becomes Dream objects.
• Impressions are in the mind of Jiva with Karana Shariram. Seeming duality

Waking :

• Same light reveals waking world in which external objects are there.
• Waking objects borrow existence, knowledge, light from Atma to reveal external objects which are Jadam, Achetanam.
• Atma makes them known with the help of mind which is in waking state.
• Body and mind are inert with no existence, consciousness of their own (Hence called Mithya). 2) Maya Nidra / Avidya / Ignorance :
• Jiva asleep to his Sat – Chit – Ananda nature, nondual nature.
• Hence sees plurality.
• Realised Jiva sees nondual advitiyam nature, waking world exists in me and resolves into me. Dream :
• Waker becomes one individual in the dream and experiences dream world.
• Sees dream world outside.
• Dreamer forgets wakerhood.
• In dream, we can never say its dream. Waking :
• Jiva is Atma.
• Atma Projects waking, universe because of Maya power and forgets world is in Atma.
• In waking don’t think I am Atma.
• Atma is veiled by Maha Maya Nidra Shakti.

• Realise I am Atma, not become Atma one day.
• I know my scriptural identity.
• Aware of transactional identity in waking.
• Scriptures introduce me to myself as Atma Chaitanyam.
• Moksha, my nature, ever free from mind with thoughts, emotions of sorrow, joy.
• This is Phalam of Jnanam. Reference :
• Sureshvaracharya – Manasolasa – Commentary on Dakshinamurthy.

Verse 2 : (Salutations to Sri Dakshinamurthy Who Awakens the Glory of the Atman within us through His Profound Silence)This World is Like a Sprout of a Seed Within which transforms what is Changeless state Before, appear Again as Space and Time, and endless Varieties of Pictures over it; all due to the Creation of Maya, This Unfolding of the World (from the Seed) which is Like a Play of a Magician, happens to one Who is Like a Mahayogi out of His Own Free Will (i.e. a Mahayogi can enter the state of Samadhi out of his own free will and witness the unfolding of the world when He comes out of Samadhi), Salutations to Him, the Personification of Our Inner Guru Who Awakens This Knowledge through His Profound Silence; Salutation to Sri Dakshinamurthy. [Verse 2 ]

• Creation, Idam Jagat is like Angkur sprout present in seed.
• Creation presented as unmanifest state in Paramatma and becomes manifest.
• Maya Shakti in the creator makes unmanifest to come out as manifest. 2 Expressions of Maya Time Space
• One appearing as many is because of time and space.

b) Intelligent Cause + Material Cause – is one

• Like Mayavi and Mahayogi. Manasovilasa :
• Different schools of creation discussed, Nyaya – Veiseshika. Tattva Bodha Dakshinamurthy Stotram
• 3 Gunas cause of creation. - Maya Power of Lord creates universe. Why God creates world?
• Svechaya – out of his own will power. Example :
• Bathroom Singers!
• Dream Taittriya Upanishad Chandogya Upanishad
• 5 Elements - 3 Elements Kalpakam Nirvikalpakam
• Manifest - Unmanifest

Scriptures :

• To exhaust Karma Phalam, Vasanas, need world with objects, and beings.
• Karmas exhausted of previous creation by multiple rounds of births and deaths in this creation.
• Punaha, Punaha – no 1 st creation.
• Karmas always there.
• Scriptures don’t answer why creation begins, millions of years ago, so that you don’t give up self-effort now to improve.
• Don’t ask questions not related to present context.
• What is important is what should I do now?
• Every creation is prototype of previous creation.

• Cycle
• Like clock, when time begins – can’t say, never stopped.

Verse 3 : (Salutations to Sri Dakshinamurthy Who Awakens the Glory of the Atman within us through His Profound Silence) By This Throb Alone which is of the Nature of Eternal Underlying Awareness, the Unreal Forms get their Meanings and Appear over the Mind, This Knowledge of the Atman Spoken of in the Vedas as "Tat-Tvam-Asi" is Imparted by Our Inner Guru as a Direct Experience when we Surrender Whole-Heartedly to Him, By Direct Experience of this Knowledge, the Delusion of being tossed within an unending Ocean of Worldly Existence will Not Appear Again, Salutations to Him, the Personification of Our Inner Guru Who Awakens This Knowledge through His Profound Silence; Salutation to Sri Dakshinamurthy. [Verse 3 ] In Lakshyartha - Oneness Tvam Pada Tat Pada
