the big before the bang

1.

when in maya, do as the sattva do.

the veiling power of tamas; the projecting power of rajas; the revealing power of sattva.

tamas: you fail to see the rope rightly.

rajas: you see the rope as something else.

sattva: you still saw the rope in the first place, but only have mistaken it for a snake.

rajas is yang, tamas is yin. sattva is viveka.

2.

advaita vedanta coopted samkhya by turning prakriti into maya. a genius move.

like nonduality accepts the terms of duality as long as this duality is seen as maya.

if it changes, it can’t be the substratum.

the shimmering prakriti must be maya.

that changeless parusha is brahman.

3.

did you ever notice that the outer changes and the inner remains the same?

the nonconceptual inner is the big before the bang.

brahman is another name for the big.

atman is brahman is a paramahavakya.
