hmm..this thread is really interesting.zen liked ur illusion..plus ur comment .. beachlife, interesting points there..beachlife = moneyminded?? this is what i have understood of "maya" by reading thru books: ...Sat, world which our senses nor our any intellect part of the body can reach, it is the world that is present beyond the wrold of ASAT..contrast of SAT..we being as an invidual hunger for statisfaction, and we follow our senses, which leads us to be egoistic, naturing, and creates an endless, amount of desire..and futher more, We as being an individual, human, we need to realize this one truth and work with the "Para bramha" ....
