      Hari Om!

      In 10th lesson of Advanced Vedanta course, a match the following question was given on Desa Paricheda stating that it relates to the Objectival limitation and Jivabhava as the Notion of finite. Why can’t it be vice-versa? Since Jivabhava is a limited individual considering different from others with the experience of objectival limitation (which means every finite object/being is limited by all other finite objects/beings by the very fact that they are different in nature), Jivabhava has the experience of objectival limitation at a point of time and at particular place.
      Desa Paricheda also known as Spatial limitation is finite and is conditioned by space, hence to my understanding it can be related to the notion of finite too. Please correct me if I am wrong…

      My second question: To my understanding, usually for most of us it takes several births to get rid of all the vasanas, but for few enlightened ones(rare) Isn’t few births or one janma not enough to be devoid of vasanas?

      Thank you.

      Your first question:

      The notion of finite is the idea of limitation. That limitation can be desa, kala and vastu. So vastu paricheda, objectival limitation as you put it, is included in the notion of being finite.

      Second question:

      Upon realization the sancita karma is rendered null and void just as a roasted seed cannot germinate. The sancita karma is the repository of vasanas and when that is burnt, all vasanas are gone. This is can happen in eka janma or aneka janma. You do not have to pick each vasana and eliminate it. You get rid of all of them at one stroke by realizing your own Self!
