[MillionPaths] Maharshi- Creation -[6]

Question: "Brahman is real. The world is illusion" is the stock phrase

of Sri Sankaracharya. Yet others say, "The world is

reality."

Which is true?

Sri Ramana Maharshi:

Both statements are true. They refer to different stags

of development

and are spoken from different points of view. The

aspirant starts with the

definition, that which is real exists always. Then he

eliminates the world

as unreal because it is changing. The seeker ultimately

reaches the Self

and there finds unity as the prevailing note. Then, that

which was originally

rejected as being unreal is found to be a part of the

unity. Being absorbed

in the reality, the world also is real. There is only

being in Self-realisation,

and nothing but

being.********************************************************************
