Hindu Concept MAYA :The Greatest Secret - Is this World Real

http://thoughtshoppe.blogspot.com/2007/02/second-life-and-maya-of-vedanta_17....

An important idea that Advaitins believe very strongly in is the concept of : Brahma Satya, Jagat Mithya -- the World is an Illusion, Consciousness is the Only Reality. This idea rests on three other concepts namely that of the Atman -- the Self, the Brahman -- the Supreme Consciousness and the elusive concept of Maya -- the Illusion. These three crucial concepts can be summarized as follows1 :


Atman - the Self : The entire phenomenal world is bound by time, space and causation and as long as one is confined by these concepts, the experience is limited. Beyond the realms of time and space, there is an absolute and unconditional Reality that has no beginning and no end. That is Atman, the Self. The Self cannot be experienced by the senses. This Self is both within and outside the body. Unlike the body it is beyond death and decay. The Self is the fountainhead of the life force that animates and motivates the mind-body complex. According to Sankara, this Self is the all-pervading, self-illumined Consciousness.


Brahman - the Supreme Consciousness : Brahman is the ultimate Truth within and without. Brahman is also all-pervading and self-illumined Consciousness and the relationship of the Brahman to the Self is that of the forest to the tree. The entire universe emanates from Brahman, exists in Brahman and at the time of dissolution returns into Brahman. Stepping beyond the primitive monotheism of the Judeo-Christian philosophy/theology, Sankara asserts that the individual Atman and the universal Brahman are one and the same and the concept of a creator that is distinct from the creation is a cosmic illusion.


Maya - the Illusion : The phenomenal universe that can be perceived by the senses is actually an illusion called Maya. This Maya is what causes human beings to perceive worldly phenomena and respond to the environment. Vedanta states that Maya shields the Truth or Brahman from the Self or Atman. The concepts of time and space that veil the face of Truth are aspects of Maya. Because Maya veils the Truth, the individual Atman misconstrues both the world and itself as different from the Truth or Brahman.

No wonder the concept of Matrix trilogy was taken from Hindu Scriptures..

@SnehithanSnehithan

they r made up of energy asshole 

[SnehithanSnehithan]

man o man if most part of the atom is empty then saying every thing is made of atoms is wrong bec that empty space is not made of atoms. hurray huraayyyyyyyy i found it. I found it.

not every one is god we r the spirit of supreme reality just like a drop of water in ocean, ocean is full of drops but there is a big difference between a drop and ocean " aham brahmasmi" i am the spirit of brahman i am as great as brahman "i" is the state of pure consciousness

[commonman1987]

@iamthatiamall

I too agree that there is only supreme reality which is appearing in different forms. But we are not a part of supreme reality. we are just images of it. Yet we are different from supreme reality. Then every one is god as per your statement.

@commonman1987

i am telling real is just electrical signals there is only one single entity which is shaping this universe i.e energy there is only single consciousness in the world that is brahman which is one and only supreme reality which is appearing in different forms like u.me and all creatures in the state of maya ie virtual reality, everything is virtual only how could u define time when matter is neither created nor destroyed but there is change happening

[commonman1987]

@iamthatiamall

Both stone and wood comprises energy, but still they are different. How could you claim that they are equal.

And moreover, In virtual reality every thing shld be virtual, then how could you claim the electric signals alone is real?

@commonman1987

i am telling what u call real are just electrical signals in ur brain everything is energy(universal truth) all r one single entity which is made up of only energy say if u see a wood and stone according to relativity both r comprised of enrgy meaning both r same at the absolute reality due to virtual reality it is appering as two different entities this is called maya

I have said you already that, We are decoding the object as electrical signal.

Computers process only 0's and 1's (Universal truth). Then it means only 0's and 1's exist? No. It is limited to 0's and 1's. Other numbers exist, but computers are designed to handle only 0's and 1's, it cannot say other numbers are virtual..

The same way humans are designed to handle object as electric signal. It doesn't mean that only electric signals are real.
