Panchadashi Unit - F03: Delusion

Panchadashi
Module - F
Unit - F03: Delusion
By Raja Subramaniyan

On completion of this unit, the student will be able to
(a) Identify the cause of our miseries
(b) See the path to liberation

Notes to the teacher: (Ref 6.122 to 6.152 of the original text)

Delusion is Avidya. Proof of existence of Delusion: An ordinary many is not aware of the Self AND he denies the existence of ONE.

The bright students may ask "If I am consciousness how come I can be ignorant?". Logic cannot defeat experience.

Since consciousness and ignorance belong to two different orders of reality, they can coexist.

In this context, the lower order of reality of dream has to be discussed. According to science, there is no wall. It is made up of matter that consists of atoms with 90% of empty space. Matter is energy in motion. According to science there is no solid objects and what we see two solids touching each other is an illusion since only an empty space of one solid is touching only another empty space of the other object.

Atom means that which cannot be further divided. Even now we call it by same name even after splitting it.

There is difference between chemistry and biochemistry. Scientists cannot figure out what the difference is.
