Guest guest Posted April 30, 2004 Report Share Posted April 30, 2004 M.: Avidya is like Maya [she who is not is maya (illusion)]. Similarly that which is not is ignorance. Therefore the question does not arise. Nevertheless, the question is asked. Then ask 'Whose is the avidya?' Avidya is ignorance. It implies subject and object. Become the subject and there will be no object. D.: What is avidya? M.: Ignorance of the Self. Who is ignorant of the Self? The Self must be ignorant of Self. Are there two selves? (from Talks 263) -- "ekam sat vipraa bahudhaa vadanti That which exists is One; sages call it by various names." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
