Guest guest Posted July 7, 2009 Report Share Posted July 7, 2009 Avidya in the occult science means ignorance.So it is original with us.So the moment we are born, it is there with us.From the movement we got separated from the space in the entire cosmos,this Avidya accompanies us.That is why it is called ‘ ‘Anadi’’ means no beginning.Ignorance has no beginning because when we  are there, it is there.If it is there after us,it would have beginning .But as it is along with us,it hasnot beginning.So it is a necessary evil in creation.An allegory is prepared for it so that we may better understand.Ignorance  is called a demon in the form of a snail who encircles us.It is called ‘ ‘Vrithra’’.Vrithra means a whirl like demon.So better no go to ‘ ‘Vrithra ‘’ for the present, who is not concerned here.Avidya i.e., ignorance is an evil,but is inevitable.As long as there is physical body, it will get dirt and you have to take bath to get rid of the dirt.In the same way, as long as the separate existence is there,ignorance is there.This is what is called Ahamkara.That is, a local centre of consciousness formed.It is inevitable. And at the same time, you should take care to do something to get out of it.At the same time,allowing the vehicles to work is necessary.
