Namaste, All Respected Advaitins,



“Asadoma Sad Gamaya”



Who prays so? If he is Asad or Unreal, the fellow cannot pray this, being
non-existant. If he is Real, he need not make this prayer.



Still we all pray “Asadoma Sad Gamaya”.



The Real, when expresses itself, attributes seem to be attached to It. One
cannot have any special Experience, through the five organs of knowledge backed
by the mind, of the Real without the Attributes or Upadhies being there. It is
Agrahyam, i.e. not graspable, Adrusyam, not seeable, etc. That is It is /will be
never an object of knowledge, as It is Knowledge Itself.



It is ignorance of one’s Real Nature that has lead to his/her conclusion that
he/she is Asad or Unreal. There is an error in his/her judgment and this error
has resulted in his/her being not able to recognize or appreciate that he/she is
Really Real.

So, the Ignorant one though Real in essence, can pray

“Asadoma Sad gamaya”



All the Upanishads and the Bhashyas on them are only unfolding this Truth, that
we are Real or Aham Brahmasmi, by correcting our judgment by removing our
ignorance.

There cannot be two parallel Reals The One and Only Real only expresses or
manifests itself as manifold, including “you and me” and whatever is seen/known
and unseen/unknown.
