Namaste.

 

Shri Sadasiva Brahmendra Saraswathi in his Atma Vidya Vilasam says:

 

mAyAyuta stvagmadIshwaratAM chidAtmA

chAvidyayAyu gabhava ddhrita jIvabhAvaH

mAyA bhavE dvimalasattvaguNapradhAnA

prOktAmalApihita sattvaguNA tvavidyA //……(8) [Part – II]

 

The chidAtma with mAyA becomes Ishwara and the same chidAtma with avidyA becomes

the jIva. The substratum of mAyA is Ishwara and the substratum of avidyA is

jIva.

 

The difference between mAyA and avidyA is that mAyA is of " nirmala sattva guNa

swarupa " whereas avidyA is " rajastamOguNa avarita sattva guNa swarupa " .

 

Regs,

Sriram
