Sahaja Posted November 30, 2023 That is my understanding There was another guy Prakasatman after him that specifically tried to clarify “Maya and Brahman together constitute the entire universe, just like two kinds of interwoven threads create a fabric. Maya is the manifestation of the world, whereas Brahman, which supports Maya, is the cause of the world.” Hmm sounds a lot like Siva and Sakti. It also sounds like a lot of other philosophies where one guy says something and later a cottage industry is set up to explain and defend what he/she said often fundamentally changing it in the process. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dwai Posted November 30, 2023 (edited) 1 hour ago, Sahaja said: I do prefer living in a world that is real to one that is illusory When Shankara says "mithya" he doesn't mean the world is illusory in the transactional sense. Anything that is impermanent, changing, and transient is called "mithya." That begs the question, impermanent in comparison to what? Brahman - Pure Consciousness. This might give you a better perspective of Brahman - https://www.medhajournal.com/close-encounters-of-the-fourth-kind/ Edited November 30, 2023 by dwai Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
