Verse 259 from yesterday (Footnote

> 17 cont'd).

>

> Scrutiny of Maya

> (illusion) leads up to the ego as the starting point, and

> when the truth of the ego is sought, Maya (simply)

> disappears and in her place stands the Real Self; thus

> neither a Sadhaka(sincere spiritual seeker) nor one that has reached the goal

can tell us what she is; but the latter knows that there is no Maya, in fact.

Verse 259 (Footnote

> 17 cont'd).

> That it is so, is apparent from

> the utter failure of all scientists and metaphysicians --

> those who did not know that they have to look inside for the

> truth -- to trace the world back to any demonstrable Cause,

> single or multiple; the conclusion of every school of

> thought is demolished by some others; thus all are proved

> wrong.
