Educational Q&A
Many divine and psychological terms can function as pointers to one underlying Reality—the Great Self. When a person understands the essence behind these names (rather than clinging to mere labels), delusion and confusion do not arise.
Vāyudeva is instructing a listener in a reflective, doctrinal mode: he explains that the ‘Great Self’ is indicated through multiple synonymous epithets, and he emphasizes the ethical-spiritual result of true understanding—freedom from pramoha (delusion).
