Episode notes

Shankaracharya: Ignorance is always beginningless. When you get knowledge of German, the ignorance goes away. That doesn't superimposition mean that there is actually a real world? No. You need previous experience, but you don't, that experience doesn't have to be experienced for real thing. An actual ghost may not even exist and the children, the child sees a ghost. And the samskaras can be produced by past false experiences also. So here is just debating with the Vedic schools. How do you accept superimposition? If you are, how are the Vedas implying superimposition?"

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