One informant posting here claims he got a degree in philosophy at MUM, but he doesn't seem to know much about history. Another guy who got an English degree at MUM is a cook down in New Orleans. Hey! You already led us to assume that you thought physical reality was an illusion and not real. Go figure that one! The Patanalji Golden Dome where you muttered your mantra for all those years is a Buddhist stupa! You just don't seem to get it. LoL! <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sanchi> "To the extent that the building embodies meanings conducive to an intellectual vision of the non-duality of principial Unity and manifested multiplicity, an edifice functions as a symbol, that is to say, as a representation of reality on another. The belief that the building is capable of performing this symbolic function is founded on the Indian doctrine that there exists an anlagous, or anagogical corespondence between the physical and the metaphysical orders of reality." So, if your world is an illusion like a dream, then it's entirely posssible that the sensible world is also a similitude of the intellectual, in such a way that: "This world is the image of that, and vice versa." (Aitareya Aranyaka, VIII.2, Keith) Work cited: 'The Symbolism of the Stupa' by Adrian Snodgrass Delhi, 1992 (Highly recommended reading for all who are interested in edifice architecture).
