Teachings of Swami Vivekananda

 

 

 

When the Hindu says the world is Maya, at once people get the idea the world is an illusion. This interpretation has some basis, as coming through the Buddhistic philosophers, because there was one section of philosophers who did not believe in the external world at all. But the Maya of Vedanta, in its last developed form is neither Idealism nor Realism, nor is it a theory. It is a simple statement of facts - what we are, and what we see around us. (II. 89)
