The idea of an illusory universe may sound hard to believe at first. We tend to see things around us as tangible objects composed of solid matter. But what matter really is?
Very educative and interesting post. Thank you Prabhu 🙏
So, now we know that physics is just a language and numerical model that describes the behaviour of what is out there. It does not tell us what it is in and of itself.
We use words such as “Physical world”, “matter” etc… even within our Vedantic philosophical discussions to refer to a phenomenon that we can only known through seeing, smelling, etc..( it seems to be a world of qualities rather than quantities )
The question remains… it’s our mind or brain creating this experiences, or do the qualities actually exist out there as we experience them ?
When we say Matter, what are we actually referring to ?
What is the intrinsic constitutional nature of what we refer to as the physical world, within a Vaishnav philosophical framework ?
Is the full moon white ? Or the sky blue even if we ( leaving entities ) were not there to experience it ?
When we say forms of subtle matter to describe the constitution of other planetary dimensions, what are we actually referring to by matter ?
The material world exists; we are here. We should not think we are dreaming or something like that. It is called illusory in the sense it desnt affect our real self.
On the other hand, is it real? It's real in the same sense a computer simulation is real. Someone created it, someone sees it, it exists in some form, but is not reality in the same level as real life.
