Namaste.

Listened to the talk. What exactly is he equating gold with. Is it NirguNa
Brahman? Or is it Iswara ? Or is it mAyA ?. At 1-22, he mentions * It is
like gold *. But what does that * It * refer to ? NirguNa Brahman ? mAyA ?
Iswara ? At 1-52, he states that gold plus mAyA becomes the Creator !!!

At 1-50, he terms mAyA itself as nAma rUpa vyavahAra. He does not say mAyA
takes on different nAma rUpa which constitute different objects and lead to
vyavahAra. At 2-23, he asks * Can you show me the gold separately apart
from the form *. Gold is  always the unmanifest material cause which can be
perceived ONLY in a manifest form, namely as associated with a form. That
is a limitation of the sense organ of perception. At 2-46, he says there is
only one and that is *You*. This , in reference to gold as being one only
while ornaments in different forms are multitudinous.

The talk in my view is very unsatisfactory. I do appreciate there are many
who differ. Just presenting a contrary understanding.
