Material world means apasyatam atma-tattvam, one who has no enquiry or vision of the atma. Atma, paramatma. Atma-tattvam. Tattvam means "in truth." Atma means this body also.

I had only `part II’ of the seminar hence please pardon me if I miss out some details.

Maharaj explained that all these demons and the
