There is no manifestation but only superimposition. And because the dark matter of ignorance is superimposed on the superstring of atman, the snake of mind appears.
Whereas the serpent is never the serpent and rope is never not rope, there’s this reflection of consciousness upon the mind’s appearance
It’s that reflection of consciousness which lends sentience to an otherwise insentient mind. Illusions can’t exactly act on their own.
The nature of this sentient mind is thought, intellect, memory, and aham. It’s not exactly satcitananda but it will have to do.

Like dark matter, avidya is 85% of the world. The other 15% is the mindstuff of california dreaming is becoming a reality.
If i-self is atman, and myself i-am, the dream self is thus I am this or I am that.
This second reading of the drg drsya viveka (ddv) is truly mind-blowing. I’m currently in an infinite loop orbiting slokas 6 & 7.
To have instantaneous access to translations from each of the big three publishing houses of real advaita vedanta is like instant dharma.
The nikhilananda, published by the ramakrishna mission, is jam-packed.
The tejomayananda published by the chinmaya mission is like condensed chinmayananda. It may not be cask strength like the nikhilananda, but it’s still bottled in bond and I like it.
Ah, the dayananda. With true pranams to his nondual genius, the recently published ddv is obviously posthumous so dayananda did not do the final genius edit. But there’s still sanskrit gold in them arsha vidya hills.
Ddv is advaita on lsd. I could push this stuff. Sanskrit may be logical but it’s not beyond paradox, as I understand it.
Existence, consciousness, ananda is to atman as memory, intelligence, aham is to antahkarana.
