THUS SPAKE RAMANA - 71

 

It is not at all correct to say that the advaitins or the Sankara school deny

the existence of the world or that they call it unreal. On the other hand, it

is more real to them than to others. Their world will always exist, whereas the

world of the other schools will have origin, growth and decay and as such cannot

be real. Only, they say that the world as world is not real, but that the world

as Brahman is real. All is Brahman, nothing exists but Brahman, and the world

as Brahman is real. Sankara says that maya does not exist. He who denies the

existence of maya and calls it mithya or non existent cannot be called a

mayavadi.
