Since Share quoted it, I assume that she is picking it out of her memory rather than from a source text. I recall the phrase, but my feeble aging brain, cannot recall where I read or otherwise heard it. Is this translated phrase from the Vedas (and which one? Rig, etc.), the Upanishads, or the Bhagavad-Gita? (in particular the MMY translation of the latter) Whether Maya is real or not, it is certainly present here on FFL. I have seen this product in refrigerators of meditators, "Vegenaise", a non animal derived product purporting to replace mayonnaise. Maybe itshould be called Mayannaise instead, except people would probably confuse it with the Mayan civilisation of Central America. But then, confusion is the whole purpose of Maya. Gotta love this universe for beating us up this way.

So, Share, have you figured out where you made your mistake with "OTOH" in response to what I said? No?

Re: Re: [FairfieldLife] RE: RE: Transcendental Meditation Revolutionary Mission:
Judy, from what I noted, Maharishi said that Brahman is maya. You wrote that Maharishi said that Brahman is not maya. Maybe it's simply a case of the teacher contradicting himself so that the students don't get trapped in intellectual understanding.
