In this thread I am giving a radical interpretation of maya, but one which I believe is logical. Members may test my logic and put forth their views.
Those who were reading my recent thread in the chit chat section and my arguments with Renuka, have been introduced to my concept of maya.
Maya to me is the equivalent of saguna brahman. When they coexist as a whole is the reality of nirguna brahman. Maya represents the analytic aspect and saguna brahman the holistic aspect though maya just like someone who analyses and sees the whole instantly, is also holistic and similarly saguna brahman is also analytic.
In the reality of nirguna brahman therefore they are one but in the projection of nirguna brahman, these two aspects separate.
To create the physical reality, the whole veils itself and turns into a number parts and gets discretized. We can infer this ability of maya to veil because in a step by step analytic process the whole is seen only finally. So in a sense the holistic nature of saguna brahman is cut and discreteness projected.
But the discreteness is an illusion as the whole is eventually revealed.
Renuka and others your views please.
