Guest guest Posted September 17, 2005 Report Share Posted September 17, 2005 friends Sankara never told that this world is not a truth. He told that this world is Mithya. Mithya means very little truth, which can be almost considered as untrue. The dream is Mithya. Any body in the dream cannot call it as a dream because he becomes the part and parcel of the dream. The ant cannot be Mithya for another ant. The ant is Mithya only for an elephant. Therefore this world is Mithya for the Lord. This is a daydream of the Lord. There is not ignorance in the daydream and therefore the Lord did not become ignorant. Sankara entered the house of Mandana Misra even though the doors were locked. Therefore the world is Mithya for Him. Mithya is not untrue. Ramanuja said that this world is not a dream for a soul. The soul is a part and parcel of the world. Mithya is not Mithya for a Mithya. This is the interpretation of Ramanuja. In fact Sankara came as Ramanuja and clarified misunderstanding. at the lotus feet of shri datta swami surya B K <bkgswu wrote: SOUL The Physical and the Non Physical Is there more to me than I see in the mirror?
