Mari asks: David haven't you mentioned in previous posts an interest in J
Kristnamurti? If i recall correctly JK said in one of his books that "Maya"
in sanskrit means " to measure ". From there it is easy for me to understand
how maya can get filtered down to mean "illusion". The meaning of "lila" is
still fuzzy. One sanskrit dictionary has the meaning : Entry lIlA
Meaning f. play, sport, amusement, pastime; wantonness, grace, beauty,
charm; mere play or sport, i.e. either ease or facility in doing anything;
or appearance, semblance, pretence. --- & instr. for sport, without effort;
feignedly.
