Lauraarate I am not saying that the world does not exist.
This has to become very clear.
Especially people who have come from the Indian tradition have heard about Maya so much that somewhere they've mixed the concept and they think that this world of people situation thinks it's not real.
I am not saying this is not real.
I am not saying that you are not really under lockdown.
I am not saying that coronavirus does not exist.
It has become very clear.
Advaita in fact pushes away all this nonsense build up that has happened through the ages because of a misunderstanding of a simple sentence that Jagat is Mithya.
It's a simple statement to explain that the way I perceive the world is an illusion.
The world is not an illusion.
People who are lazy to say the full sentence said the world is an illusion.
Yes?
It doesn't matter if it was said by your sage and your so-called saint.
He or she was lazy to say the whole sentence.
The whole sentence is the world as I perceive it,
The way I conceive of it.
That is an illusion.
I think that this is matter.
I think that there is matter separate from the energy or knowingness or awareness or Brahman.
We'll come to that tomorrow.
That part we'll come to tomorrow.
But really it is not separate.
It is the same knowingness that condenses into thoughts,
Ideas,
Concepts,
Perceptions,
Sensations,
Feelings.
And it is that same energy that now condenses further into this world of objects.
The world of objects I'm not saying is there or not there.
I'm not going to fight anybody.
Yes?
I'm saying the way I perceive of it.
That is an illusion.
That is the meaning of Jagat Nitya.
God Bless!
