Maya Is Not an Explanation of the World

Sami vivekanande gives his approach to maya. He says, our very being is this contradiction. Maya is not an explanation, not a ory to explain the world. It's simply a description of the sheer paradoxical nature of life. Just like that blue shining sky, everythingis all right. Suddenly dark clouds come, and it's all dark and gloomy and terrible. And then wind comes and blows it away, andIt's all back and shining again. This is the maya of som orrow.
