[Advaita-l] Fwd: Brahman has no default form; Only contextual form - Varaha Purana

[H S Chandramouli]

Namaste.

mAyA and avidyA are the same entity. It is a heterogeneous entity endowed
with parts. Based on the  primary component, the two names mAyA and avidyA
come to be associated with Isvara and jIva.

Summary translation  (Swami Paramarthananda on Vichara Sagara)  <<  Popular
definition is both jiva and Iswara have 3 components. Oc rc rm is equal to
Iswara as well as jiva. Rm is vishepa shakti pradhaana in jiva. Iswara is
able to serve as adhiguruhu, shudha satva pradhaana or viskshepa shakti
pradhaana.

Jiva is malina satva pradhaana or aavarna shakti pradhaana. Jiva becomes
ahamkara pradhaana not OC pradhaana. Therefore jiva is mahaa samsaari.

When satva guna dominates over rajo guna and tamo guna, it is shudha satva
guna pradhaanam. of what? Original अज्ञानं. Original अज्ञानं alone we are
now dividing in शुद्धसत्व प्रधानं  अज्ञानं  which is called माया and
मलिनसत्व  प्रधानं  अज्ञानं  which is called अविद्या >>.
