A few words on the July topic-the Real and the Unreal!

[Guest guest]

Dear Friend Chitta-ji,

 

we are looking forward to your presentation on this topic

 

Real and the Unreal!

 

we are getting really 'spoiled' in this forum! so many wonderful

topics and such wonderful presentations!

 

first, the Purnamidam debate - Nairji really made it very 'exciting'

with such lively participation.

 

then, of course beloved Ken-ji writing on Maya in the vedas - very

scholarly but at the sametime full of wit and wisdom -

 

now, we have Your presenting your perspective on the Real and the

Unreal!!! Between you and Bhaskarji, i expect a lot of lively and

interesting discussions! Ranjeetji is just waiting to 'pitch' in

after being away for so long! Nairji would have completed

this 'circle but he is away!! Well, a 'triangle is ok too!! smiles!!!

 

These words of Krishna, come from the second chapter of the Bhagavad

Gita, starting at verse 16:-

 

The *unreal* never is: the *Real* never is not. This truth indeed has

been seen by those who can see the true.

 

Interwoven in his creation, the Spirit is beyond destruction. No one

can bring to an end the Spirit which is everlasting.

 

For beyond time he dwells in these bodies, though these bodies have

an end in their time; but he remains immeasurable, immortal.

 

Vasudevam sarvam iti!!!

 

i am intrigued by the conjunction "and" between Real and Unreal!!!

the mystery will unfold itself when Maya unveils herself during your

presentation or as kenji would say as Maya the magician weaves her

magic wand!!!

 

Lead me from

Asatoma ma sadgamaya!

 

Best wishes,

 

your friend and well-wisher

You have pre-empted me with these words.... for they are the very

theme of my essays. :-)
