[Advaita-l] [advaitin] T&D – Avidyā

[Venkatraghavan S]

Namaste Bhaskar ji,
I don't quite understand your question. You ask:

"How can that which is already determined as mithya can also be
anirvachaneeya (something which is neither sat nor asat !!)"

and then go on to say
"how can this mithya vastu can be an anirvachaneeya i.e. it is something
neither true nor false??"

I didn't define sat to be true nor asat to be false in the first place.

Kind regards,
Venkatraghavan
