All this will be explained in subsequent articles. As of now, we are with broader classifications. We are yet to go through finer aspects. Please bear with me for some more time. This subject is very difficult to understand and hence, I am taking more time on broader classifications.

Under its(ignorance) spell the finite soul gets identified with mind and appears as the ego? How does this happen? The soul is Brahman, hence it is only the mind that will identify itself as self with the creation of ego by the mind? Sorry but bit confused here as kutasta is nothing but individual soul, hence why do you say that the unchanging aspect of individual soul is kutasta? In individual soul (kutasta) it is the performer,experiencer and immutable self, so since it is limited by Maya and ignorance, does it say the jiva to do something as long as the jiva lives, as a trigger for everything? Like I see an Apple and something in my mind says do something to it? Who is saying this?

"Aham Brahmasmi" means liberation, which apart from other aspects, depends on one's karmic account. When we have accrued too much of karmic account, which in other words our sanchita and prarabdha karmas are more, we transmigrate. Transmigration means rebirth.

If it is "Aham Brahmasmi" then where does the concept "Transmigration of Soul" fit in ? Is there Transmigration ?

Hiranyagarbha aspect we have not reached in this series. We will discuss at that time. When you see a rope, it is wrongly projected as snake. This is illusion. But when the same is projected deceptively as snake, it is super imposition.

Isvara is hiranyagarbha where it gives form/attribute to Brahman, hence it becomes visesana? Can you please explain what do you mean by Maya is the reason for illusion and avidya is the super imposition. As Maya is imposed on Brahman then avidya is inherent?

You are right. But we should first understand this Truth with Knowledge. Only then, we can confidently affirm "I am Brahman". The knowledge comes in the form elucidations and negations.

Brahman is ONE. When a child is born, Brahman (Universal, Limitless) enters the body (Limited) and at the time of death, Brahman leaves the body. For the Brahman, there is no question of I / Individual. Does that mean that there are no past lives or future lives for a Jiva (Individual) ? Hope my question is not silly, Raviji.

Nirguṇa and Saguṇa are corrected in the article. Thank you very much for pointing out this error.

Let us not count the number of recitations. Till such time we experience material benefits, we have to chant. Normally, first results can be felt after you cross 25,000 repetitions. But, this again depends upon how you chant a mantra.
