ATMABODHA | VERSE 14 | SRI ADI SANKARACARYA



1. Inexpressible and beginningless ignorance is said to be the causal body ( as in deep sleep ) . Know the Self to be other than these three upadhis .

If so, why is the Self not evident to me ? On the other hand , Sruti says , " This Purusha is made up of annarasa ( essence of food ) " . ~ RM

2. Avidya or nescience , indescribable and beginningless , is called the cause , which is an upadhi superimposed on Atman . Know for certain that Atman is other than the three upadhis .

3. Avidya which is indescribable and beginningless is the Causal Body . Know for certain that the Atman is other than these three conditioning bodies ( Upadhis )
