Episode notes

Shankara Charya penetrated through the Adhyasya, he says. The subject and the object are very different,. You and whatever you experience, they are very different. In so many ways, self and not self are opposed like light and darkness. There should be no question of imposing the qualities of the not self on the self and the self on the not self.

Adhyasa Bhashya is Adi Shankara’s introduction to the Brahma Sutras. Swami Sarvapriyananda gives a brief overview of this commentary, over three sessions.
