To think we know everything about nature and we have reached singularity etc is not only so much underestimating nature but also our own selves

 

[sravna]

The thinking and acting of saguna brahman is because maya is not one with it. Otherwise it would be nirguna brahman. Anything perceived outside of one makes it's reality dual and be subject to maya but it may not be in the negative sense but only that saguna brahman needs maya or wields it if you may call it so. It is not veiling but a harmonious relationship. Nirguna brahman has maya one with it whereas saguna brahman has maya external to it.

 

[sravna]

Saguna brahman uses maya because he needs to understand and he does understand by becoming many and as played out in space and time. The illusory nature of space time expanse indicates that there really is no gap in the understanding by saguna brahman but only the mechanics of it are being played out in space time.

Maya poses problems that is creator of the problems. Understanding is Implied. Saguna brahman understands. Posing or problem creativity implied. Both are complete by themselves and are one in the ultimate reality.

If they are one why separation. The separation into saguna brahman and maya is only the mechanics aspect of it and not in import. But now one understands why there needs to be separate existence of maya and saguna brahman in adfition to the non dual timeless reality of nirguna brahman. It reconciles the timeless nature of ultimate nirguna brahman reality with our own space time reality which we perceive. It also offers a philosophical import for maya and saguna brahman.

Timeless reality avoids conceptual conundrums like what exists beyond space and does time have a beginning or end etc and is an essential part of any theory of reality. So any theory which cohesively explains reality has to incorporate timeless reality and resolve the apparent contradiction with space time reality which we perceive.

Advaita beautifully does that.

 

[sravna]

So one implication is even though we perceive space time reality it doesn't exist. Our consciousness is an illusion which veils the truth. The magic of seeing the illusion is the work of maya.

 

[sravna]

Nirguna doesn't mean possessing nothing. But there is no stand out quality or qualities. It is a perfect balance of qualities. This includes at the highest level the balance of illusion and reality creating the one ultimate reality.

The illusion in the oneness causes the illusion of separation into things which are not ultimately real

 

[sravna]

Illusion and reality representing maya and saguna brahman are perfectly balanced because at a higher level they are one. The effect of maya plays out as the mechanics representing the lower level physical mental reality

 

[sravna]

Wielding of maya is Saguna brahmans thinking and acting through which maya expresses itself as our world

 

[sravna]

The oneness of illusion and reality creates the ultimate reality whereas physical mental manifests itself at a lower level due to maya or illusion

 

[sravna]

The macrocosm is an illusion and exists in everyone. Only that part of macrocosm that is accessible to sense organs is perceived by everyone. Laws govern the macrocosm even though illusion

 

[sravna]

For each person his mental and physical energies respond to and act on macrocosm the mind and body themselves being illusory with reality grounded in deepest self being the Atman. Any projection or illusion from a reality is finally assimilated into that underlying reality.

Why this play of projection and assimilation? Why not just the timeless reality?

Cooperation, growth, consummation , fulfilment for example are relative and cannot be in a reality which has nothing to compare to. These attributes must be important to reality and so reality is the way it is

 

[sravna]

Even omnipotence and omniscience can't be seen in a vacuum and needs comparative yardsticks. So one cannot be sure of what absolute is. It is self affirming nature of reality to set an absolute based on relativeness.

 

[sravna]

Non duality is kept intact as the physical world is projected from the spiritual reality. But the beautiful and the compelling mechanics and maya being the focus warrants an expression as physical reality
