Good article on Maya

[Guest guest]

Namaste,

 

In line with recent discussions, here is an interesting article on

Shankara and Maya.

This article makes one point we should remember: Shankara was a

realized mystic, trying to express his ineffable vision, and not a

philosopher in the modern sense. We must therefore not assume

airtight logic and consistency in his views. Otherwise, he would

never use an expression like 'is, is not, neither is nor is not,

etc', which he DOES use. But then, our own deluded and imperfect

nature is ultimately inconsistent with the sole reality of Brahman,

so there IS a problem ... which vanishes with the dawn of Knowledge.

 

Hari Om!
