andhya

VEDANTA

āndhya

Blindness. This can mean both literal blindness of the eye, but it means being blind (andha) to the radiant fullness of the self.

Extended definition:

Andhya
The funny thing is that it is precisely the lurking senses that seem to scatter the self to worldly objects, thereby affirming, nurturing and firing up ignorance and dependence.
