Topic: Vidyamaya


  
  Avidyamaya and Vidyamaya - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Avidyamaya and Vidyamaya are concepts created by the Hindu sage Ramakrishna based on his realizations.
According to his hindu school of thought, as one cannot trust one's eyes before a trained magician, also the human five senses draw and drag us further into illusions and false conclusions.
However, the embracing and realization of some concepts that are not sensual (i.e., of the senses), such as love, generosity, spirituality, all of them vidyamaya, take us further away from sticking to what we see, touch, smell, hear, taste.

The delusion that pertains to the mundane, transient world, is called Avidyamaya, and the delusion which is beyond the appearance of the world and is directed towards the "Ultimate Truth" is called Vidyamaya.
That which is nonexistent or untrue, appears to exist due to Avidyamaya, and when everything that appears in the world is seen to be untrue, it is Vidyamaya.
Both Avidyamaya and Vidyamaya are derived from the primal illusion, or Moolamaya, which is Consciousness itself.
