[Advaita-l] ​Re: [advaitin] A talk on avidyA by Manjushree

[Jaishankar Narayanan]

Dear Raja Krishnamurti ji,

Mithya / Asat / Anrtam are all synonymous and used a ontological terms.
That means - they do not signify an object (vastu) but signify the reality
status of an object. So the right statement is 'Maya is mithya / Asat /
Anrtam' as Maya is not of the same order of reality as Brahman and is only
in vyavahaara. Maya is used to explain away the creation and the apparent
creatorship of Brahman.

with love and prayers,
Jaishankar
