Guest guest Posted January 22, 2004 Report Share Posted January 22, 2004 The world is a phenomenon happening inside of consciousness. Ramana Maharshi had a great thing to say about this. "The world appeared like a dream, on account of one's wrong notions about one's true self." Ignorance leads inevitably to the dream, which is the world. As long as one remains asleep, dreams continue to manifest, life, death, after-life states, these are all dreams. When one is completely awake there is no further dream, that is reabsorption in Brahman for the advaitin, and Nirvana for the Buddhist. May all attain freedom from the dream.
