Yoga-drishti-samuccaya
Furthermore, this Avedya-Svedya pad is characterized by samaropa, meaning there is an imposition, a superimposition, one thing is placed on top of another, one's cap is placed on another's head, one's own self is imposed on another, and another's is imposed on one's own self. Therefore, in the Avedya-Svedya pad, instead of being in their own state, the Bhava-abhinandi jiva considers another as their own, they attribute the soul to the body and other things, they climb on top of another's seat, they take over another's cushion! Although the soul itself is the very essence of happiness, it imposes that happiness on the pudgala-vishaya! And the flower of that samaropa's intensity is also enjoyed by them as intense suffering! Because this samaropa is caused by Mithyatva-dosha, it leads to the jiva going towards Apaya-gamanabhimukha - towards hell and other Apayas; therefore, it causes harm to the soul's true nature, and the attainment of hell and other Apayas leads to intense suffering.
Samaropa Samakula
This samaropa, this superimposition, is the subject of Vyavahar-naya. Therefore, the jiva who is in the Avedya-Svedya pad is predominantly Vyavahar-pradhaan. And the one whose vision remains in Vyavahar, they do not attain the true nature of Paramatma, they remain entangled in the endless complexities of Vyavahar, they keep spinning in circles, they do not attain the one, undivided, true nature; because their hand remains focused on Vyavahar, on superimposition, they do not receive anything in their hand; the one who focuses on Paramatma, they receive the true nature of things, just like the one in the Vedya-Svedya pad.
"There is one thread,
Its complexities are endless, the true nature of the Lord is not in anyone's hand;
By following the pure naya, there is no doubt left, the true nature." - Shri Anandghanji.
"The path of Paramartha, which flows, is written in Vyavahar,
This samaropa-filled Avedya-Vedya pad arises from Mithyatva-dosha. It is wrong, it is false, it is a false perception, and its subject is the Bhava-abhinandi jiva."
