Thought Snack: Vedanta and Illusion
Mysticism - Sacred and Profane
"It does much credit to the heart of the ultra-monist Vedantins that they have always been ready to help others towards liberation; it does very little credit to their head, for what logic can there possibly be in seeking to free from illusion a person who, from the point of the would-be liberator, is, by definition, illusory? Moreover it is contrary to the quite logical advice of the Gaudapada that one 'should behave in the world like an insensible object.'"
-- Excerpt from Mysticism Sacred and Profane by R.C. Zaehner
