Namaste A, Would you please quote Sankara's passages wherein he actually uses the word Maya, as opposed to avidya, so we may better understand you. Also where does he say there is a two tier system of Brahman. This is just a concept for understanding, as all is Brahman. Badarayana talked about all this creation, not having happened at all. As it all disappears on bodiless moksha, it never could have ever happened. So Maya never happened..............ONS...Tony Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
