      Hari Om!

      Question 5

      Maya has two powers, avarana shakti and vikshepa shakti, the veiling power and projecting power. The ignorance of the post/paramatman is what Gurudev calls as non-apprehension. It is the jivatman who is under the influence of this ignorance and not paramatman. When the Truth is veiled, the projecting power of maya is capable of project any number of things. That is what is described as misapprehension.

      Question 6

      Anivachaniya, inexplicable is something that cannot be explained as sat, existent or asat, non existent. As you had mentioned because ajnana can be ended, it should be asat. At the same time, we do experience ajnana, in statements such as I don’t know this or that. So we say it is sat, existent. So ajnana cannot be described definitively as sat or asat. Therefore it is anivachaniyam.
