Guest guest Posted September 16, 2007 Report Share Posted September 16, 2007 Namaste, All IMHO the locus of both vidya and avidya is Awareness/Consciousness.

Guest guest Posted September 16, 2007 Report Share Posted September 16, 2007 Namste Mani-Ji: As I recall avidyaa is defined as " asataprakaashanashaktividyaa " Thus the locus of vidyaa becomes the admission of ignorsance or lack of knowledge. IMO - When we start using the terms awareness/conciousness often things get lost in the gymnastic of words.

Guest guest Posted September 16, 2007 Report Share Posted September 16, 2007 Namaste dear Mani-ji and Dr. Yadu-ji. Dr. Yaduji has a point there, Mani-ji. If you meant awareness / consciousness in the absolute sense, then it can't be an abode or locus for anything as there is then no plurality conceivable with reference to awareness/consciousness. We have been indulging too much in verbal gymnastics these days. Otherwise, how can we explain the following situation? " You are Brahman. You know that not. " declares Advaita. Your not knowing that you are Brahman is your ignorance. You continue with that ignorance in waking and dreaming and then into deep sleep from which you again come out to dreaming/waking with that same ignorance. Despite the facts being so clear, the questions bothering everyone is if there was ignorance in that deep sleep and, if yes, where it was! Whether it was parked outside in a dream car park or whether it was carried into the no man's land of sleep, whether it existered there in seed or flower form, whether it was in the right or left pocket etc. To top it all, all these questions are asked from the ignorant land of waking, viewed from which sleep is nothing but an " I didn't know anything " sort of ignorance! The debate continues as the quotes pour in. Ignorance remains. Vedanta's clarion call is to remove the ignorance which everyone admits there is. Bogged in debates, who has time to heed the call? Intellectual gymnastics are more satisfying than removal of ignorance. PraNAms.
