Real & Unreal

[Guest guest]

Namaste, All

 

There is neither real nor unreal. These are just words for understanding “Ekam

Eva Adviteeyam Brahma”. The question of real can come only when there is unreal,

and if there is unreal that is also “is” and so, unreal is also real! That is

also swallowed by Brahman. Real and unreal are opposites, i.e. mutually

dependant. They are expressions of “one” only.

 

The seer is also included in this, including his body, mind and intellect.

 

However, “vyvahara state” so long as it appears to us, what Vedanta says is not

to negate the other i.e. the world. It asks one to accept it as it is and not to

colour it. It is all about negating one’s perception, i.e. one’s internalizing

of the world out there, which includes also his body mind and intellect. It

means everyone projects “his own world” based on his earlier notions.

 

All our pursuits are towards remaining in peace and peace can be there only

where contentment is there and contentment can be there only when there is no

feeling of lacking, and that happens only where wisdom is, and wisdom is there

when ignorance about one’s self is removed through the teaching of Vedanta,

particularly Advaita.

 

There is Real and Mithya, the former being the substratum for the latter.

 

With warm regards and Hari Om
