Perhaps Acharya-s of Advaita parampara coming down to earth during this pitru paksha and showing us how practically these confusions possible due to ajnAna and tenth man example is not an out of the world example. Realize : Tvam dashamOsi 😊

Subbuji, you might recall, a few years back there was an article of a woman in a picnic group in the US who had changed her clothes and didn't fit the description of herself announced as missing and joined the search group! She wasn't even drunk!

Yes, Praveen ji, I think I even posted the article here.  Such real life situations only confirm the power of the analogies stated in the Bhashya.  Here is one fine example:

This short story, of about a minute, rendered in Kannada by a Madhva scholar (in the video linked) 

  https://drive.google.com/file/d/142XwgJtSIGLONJQL6-UmnWUG9_LRuz9V/view?usp=sharing  

demonstrates a point Shankara makes in the Brahma Sutra Bhashya 2.1.14.  In order to explain the idea that 'a mithya vastu can bring about a real effect and the Veda that is not paaramarthika satya can generate real liberating knowledge that is unsublated, abaadhya, on the analogy of a man dying because of entertaining a strong doubt that he has consumed poison.'    In the video the story is: A man encounters the Devataa in charge of decimating a huge population by inflicting a deadly disease (something like Corona).  She tells him 'I am going to take the lives of 3000 people by this disease.' The man resigned to the idea that divine will can't be altered, goes away. A few days later he encounters that devataa and questions: You had said your target is 3000 lives but 30,000 have died in the pandemic.'  She replies: I stuck to my target but all those extra deaths are due to their assumption that they have contracted the disease.'   http://www.thehindu.com/todays-paper/workers-panic-as-lizards-tail-is-found-in-breakfast/article8623198.ece

Workers panicked after they heard that a colleague had found a lizard’s tail in his breakfast plate in a private industry in the Naubad industrial area here on Thursday.

As the news spread, around 30 workers vomited thinking that they too might have consumed “poison”.

“They were all admitted to hospital and discharged in a few hours. They are all healthy and fit, and will soon return to work,” factory manager Rajesh Rao said.

A team of Health Department officers visited the unit and gave tips on handling such situations, District Health and Family Welfare Officer Baburao Hudgikar said.//
