Manisha Panchakam story of Sankaracharya

- Are the sun, space different in the street where Chandala or Brahmin lives?

- Five slokas - each sloka is a mahavakya and the fifth one is the summary

Upadhi - 'adjunct'

Fireball, blue cloth next to a crystal - examples of upaadhi.

There is a subtle part of five elements - tanmatras.

Universe is created all at once! Like in our dream world.

In a split second.

Which entity is experiencing the world?

- ego appropriates the experience; there is no experiencer!

Ignorance has no cause; but it has the effect - desire....

Ego is a thought!

Reflected consciousness has no instruments to experience?

What happens in pralay?

- anshik pralay - life gets wiped out; new cabinet comes
