PHIL 1F90 Lecture 12: Phil 1F90 Lecture 12
Document Summary
The topics aren"t in any particular order. When you get to the one, it is neither this particular thing or that particular thing. Rivers all go to sea and when you taste it you can"t discriminate from which river it came from. Beings or entities are individuals, constantly changing. The one is being, what allows beings to be. Being is permanent, passive, it is identical to atman, so its pure consciousness. Maya is an illusion, it is the visible world we experience. The world of duality (difference), as opposed to brahman which is the one. Brahman can be understood two ways: saguna brahman and nirguna brahman. There is one that is imminent and one that is transcendent. Duality as it were means otherness or difference. Non-dual is without a second and we would say one. Subject being aware of object represents otherness.
