Is the world a prison to escape, an appearance to see through, or a field to act in until you are free?
The live questions in this strand
Is the World Real, or Maya? — Is the world solid reality, a passing appearance of Brahman, or a real creation you must take fully seriously? Schools split.
Freedom Now, or Only After Death? — Can you be liberated while still alive and walking around — jivanmukti — or does release come only when the body falls?
