[Advaita-l] Why does anything exist at all

[D.V.N.Sarma డి.వి.ఎన్.శర్మ]

शब्दजालं महारण्यं चित्तभ्रमणकारणम्

We have to understand what the scientists mean by nothing.

There is an "achala paripurNa" school in Andhra which calls reality as
"batta bayalu" = open space.
They also call it as nothing.

regards,
Sarma.
