JIVESHWARA BANDHAM

THE REFLECTION OF BRAHMAN IDENTIFYING WITH BODY IS JEEVA.JEEVA BY  NATURE TAKES ISHWARA AS DIFFERENT FROM JEEVA,HERE THE SELF IS CONDITIONED BY AVIDYA IS CALLED JEEVA.WHEN CONDITIONED BY MAYA IS CALLED EESHWARA. SO LONG AS IDEA  OF DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THESE TWO ARE THERE ONE IS NOT FREE FROM FROM SAMSARA. WHICH IS OF BIRTH AND BIRTH. HENCE ONE SHOULD NOT ACCEPT THAT EESHWARA AND JEEVA ARE DIFFERENT. NOW THE PROBLEM HOW DO I KNOW I AM BRAHMAN? TATHWAMASI VAKYAM EXPLAINS THAT YOU ARE THAT BRAHMAN WHICH IS THE ULTIMATE TRUTH.

    It is said in the Shiva Sutras:1:2 "Jnanam bandhah".
    There are 2 readings for this as 'Jnanam bandhah' and 'Ajnanam bandhah'. Jnanam here refers to the differentiated knowledge and ajnanam is ignorance or not knowing of the undifferentiated Self. Both cause 'bandhah' or bondage. So knowing individual consciousness as one's nature and not knowing Universal consciousness as one's own nature causes bondage.
    That ignorance is impurity (mala) is the sprout of samsara. Due to this mala we become bound in the wheel of repeated births and deaths.
