Being; maya the artificial particular the substratum illusion as shown in E

G Sat = Being = the substratum (adhara). From this proceeds the particular, namely the jiva who veiled by ignorance identifies himself with the gross body. Here ignorance stands for not investigating the Sel zis in fact knowledge only; yet owing to ignorance the wrong identity with the gross body results.

H Again, the Master illustrated it with the red-hot iron ball (tapta-ayah- pindavat).

A ball of iron + fire together form red-hot iron ball. The World + Chit = (Pure Knowledge) together form the jiva = the individual.
