To place avidyā purely in a dṛṣṭa-padārtha is incorrect. Because then its
removal is not necessary. I don’t need to remove something’s avidyā.

Good but You don’t seem to see the fact that when Antahkarana is dṛśya is a
fact accepted by DSV. if you did then your whole objection against DSV that
- DSV says that īśvara is created *by* the antaḥkaraṇa - is shown as
incorrect. The entire dṛṣṭa-prapañca is included as “imagined” as in a
dream.

In dream we don’t see that the dream world is created by the dream mind of
the dream person, and yet everything is indeed imagined. It appears you
don’t get the idea of ajñata-sattā - a key feature of DSV - which is easy
to appreciate from our dream experience. Because of this there is no
disrespect or denial of Ishvara and Guru in DSV.

Om








Nevertheless, you cannot deny the fact that you have no other instrument of
