Guest guest Posted January 22, 2005 Report Share Posted January 22, 2005 So, if I perceive that the moon is a flat disc in the sky, this has reality? what is unreal is the perception that the moon as a disc is the total reality. But, the appearance of the moon as a disc is not unreal - it is true, but it is not the complete truth - the complete truth is it is a 3-D object - similarly, when the Lord appears as human, the demons think this is it - he is also made of flesh and bones - but, this is not complete understanding because the Lord's form is transcendental -the demons' understanding is limited by ignorance. However, the appearance of the Lord as a human itself is not false - one who says so is a mayavadi, who considers the material manifestation to be false.
