Namaste,Sunder et al,

 

Dear old Bertie Russell, I was locked up with him in London in the 60s.

Maya to me seems to be an appearance that never happened. It can only

prove that we are all one and in fact Brahman, as we can see it.

Whilst we are in illusion that is!!..Tony.

Namaste, an other Einstein quote:

 

" There are moments when one feels free from one's own identification

with human limitations and inadequacies. At such moments one imagines

that one stands on some spot of a small planet, gazing in amazement at

the cold yet profoundly moving beauty of the eternal, the unfathomable;

life and death flow into one, and there is neither evolution nor destiny;

only Being. " - Albert Einstein
