DNA is scientific explanation of karma. But let us not confuse. Karma is the imprints of our various births. When we are disdained to undergo illness like diabetes, it will be there in our karmic imprint, which will manifest at a fixed time. Ramana Maharishi's life is a typical example for this.

Thank you, isn't genetically transmitted tendencies like diabetes or intelligence etc form vasana's or is it that Karmic imprints make sure that the body is born in such type host to clear its karmic imprints

Can you please explain "Ego makes you to think that the Self within is not the real Self and only the reflection of the Self"
Normally the ego will think either the mind/body or the intellect as Self, how does it thin that the real Self is not real?

Vasanas are not genetically transmitted, but it represents karmic imprints. Karma for this birth has to be experienced in this birth, even after attaining liberation. This is discussed in further parts of this series. Karmas of earlier birth will be burnt away though Self-realization.

We all have vasana's that has been passed genetically, is it possible for anyone to get rid of these impressions? Only new impressions that we acquire can be removed but not the ones that has come from birth.Since I'm that which is unchanging and unattached to the vasana's, the focus should only be on that and hence the vasanas will get ridden automatically.

Thank you, let us look at this from a different angle, if Brahman is both cause and effect and is present in the emptiness and material word, then it cannot be emptiness as there is existence which is intelligence (satchitananda?) The material world is due to the intelligence's interest to create something, so of which maya arise from itself. Hence at this point Brahman is the cause (initial cause) and effect is the maya (material world)?Then our truest nature should be the emptiness where there is existence with intelligence without anything else?So finally the nature of this intelligence and existence is independent and omnipresent which is present in ourself?

Brahman is both the cause and effect. That is why, we call Brahman as omnipresent. Our mind due to innate ignorance refuse to accept this fact. Mind gets attached to the pleasures of material world and is not willing to see Brahman's omnipresence. Whatever is the effect of Brahman is superimposition on Himself and due to our innate ignorance, we are unable to realize Brahman. In Advaita, everything is Brahman and Advaita should not be confused with Trika Philosophy. In Advaita, we have to go past superimposition caused by It only. It is like a silk worm forming a cocoon around it. Brahman has given us mind and intellect, which we have to use to understand that superimposition is maayaa and we have to go past this veil of maayaa to understand Brahman. Take the example of sun. Sun is always there shining. We always take notice of sun's light and not the sun. Similarly, we observer and get entangled in the material world and we do not look into the cause of the material world.

What is the cause of the creation of super impositions itself? Meaning if it like sun do you mean that because of light these things are happening - meaning creation is taking place just as a by-product of Brahman shine, but in actuality Brahman is neither shine nor does do anything and is just emptiness? How can this emptiness come up with life?So Shiva is pervaded through out the universe as just an empty space and out of this empty space I'm just creating a shell (veil of maya) to differentiate between myself and others, but in actuality I'm that empty space but covered by Shiva shine (Shakthi, which comes out automatically because of Shivas nature?)The only conflicting question that will arise here is that Brahman is both a shining ball (for the sake easy understanding) when he has attributes and emptiness when he has no attributes, but how can something come up when everything is inert, as the inert consciousness should at-least, should have a will otherwise even shakthi will not come into existence.If there was a will then Brahman to start of actually shed its inert nature and kick started the process and then with drew back to its original nature just to observe it pulsation?When I read the Trika article in the website, it speaks about this logic where Paramashiva (nothingness) kick started the process in true it created Shiva (shining ball) and out of which Shakthi came out as a by product because of Shivas brilliance, but Shiva here in this context is a limitation as the existence of Shiva is purely out of Nothingness?Lastly does this nothingness have intelligence or mind of its own as withing out which the initial shouldn't have happened.
