Guest guest Posted March 10, 2000 Report Share Posted March 10, 2000 Seen in one of the postings:- > Technically, the existence is that which is made up of matter, > energy, space and time. Brahman and Atman are, therefore, beyond > existence. Existence is made of matter, energy space and time? Where does this come from? It is certainly not from Science and it is not from the Shruti (Hindu scriptures of authority). Existence is perhaps the substratum on which all these are projected onto but it is not produced by all of these! Existence defies further classification - the only thing that can perhaps influence existence is non-existence. A very Important question arises: But non-existence means not existing so how can something that does not exist influence existence? The blunt answer is - We do not know - hence we meet up with the term -- Maya. This is the definition of Maya - The world as it is - mixture of existence and non-existence. Any further prying is impossible as we are now dealing with how non-existence gets mixed up with existence? jay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
