Simulation hypothesis and Maya

Simulation hypothesis and Maya

Kshitiz Gaur

Simulation hypothesis, a theory of illusions and a concept of virtual reality is the major subject discussed mostly after the universe is explored in last many decades.

Is the world really and really an illusion? A dream, a virtual as like of the video game, the moment you are playing game, you become a part of that game and involved in it as becoming of part and after the game end, it came out that the game was not reality.

 

Later the simulation theory developed into digital illusion as the internet or the computers that created profile and events, the artificial simulation or a computer simulation.

The concept that took the illusion world as real leading to sceptical theory of life as Nick Bostrom suggested the epistemological formation is based on perception and lead to nowhere as like of science fiction.  Scientific groups quote Rationalist Rene Descartes that came up that one day we realize that the real world is like a dream and one day we found that the perceptions of that real world is false as one found the dream vanish as soon as he awake.



Bostrom went ahead and added that the cosmos, the universe which is observable is only a part of the big whole a reality in part and not a fundamental reality.

Shanker in Advaita Vedanta talks about cosmic illusion. The Maya, not really illusion but the force that create phenomena, a force that wrap reality, the wrong knowledge that hinders the self to know the reality.

Shanker was the one who work more on wrong knowledge than ignorance. For him ignorance is taking the rope as snake and on that premises making the concept of things. Ignorance is that we unable to see the rope while knowledge is taking the rope as rope but wrong knowledge is taking the rope as snake. Shanker defined the simulation in a traditional method of a blind man mislead by blind man. Appearance as reality, taking for granted.

Interestingly, the simulation is the own inner world that is different from real world, our creation, a virtual game, every day we play inside us the inner world is complex, which is our creation, god never asked you to think bad about the man standing on the gate. My son does not serve me or brought gift for me therefore he is obeying his wife and neglecting his parents are such feeling which emerged from our own world and therefore we are responsible for the short coming of this our real world. Having our own calculation according to our inner world is a fallacy of logic and deducting wrong premises to conclude wrongly.

The inner world formed because we have the power like analyst and calculate every fact with different perspective, the calculation depends on the stage of our knowledge and also on the stage of our standing. We count on these facts several times from every angle and from every perspective and at last accept the best conclusion which suits us according to our wishes and our desires. The inner world is the power of our own thinking; it is like dreaming in sleep.  

The real world is different, the real world is governed by the principle of nature. The real world does not have feelings or emotions but only karmas, action, how we do things and what we do.

‘We suffer every day and every time for unreality ‘

  About 2 thousand and 5 hundred years ago, Gautam Buddha discovered the Concept of suffering, cause of suffering and the golden rule to cease the suffering. For Buddhist, suffering is manifests within the conscious. Gautam Buddha after dwelling so many years found the concept of suffering in society and developed the methods to cease that suffering in lifetime. But still, after 2 thousand and 5 hundred years, the suffering prevails and people are suffering. They are not suffering but have reason or cause for suffering and they do not know how to cease this suffering. Mind it, suffering is different from pain or anguish. Present, theories suggest that suffering is the part of life and without suffering people have no life left. Suffering is there because people want to suffer. They want suffering to understand the existence of their own in their own sphere. Suffering therefore prevails as much true as the life prevails on the earth. Hindu philosophy, emphasized mostly on the conc

What is Hindu Tantrism ?

   They believe only in the power of nature and liberation is to overpower the rules of nature. They do not feel cold even in snowfall or hunger even after keeping fasts for long-long months. This class is fascinated by the nature of Lord Shiva who is known as a destroyer of the world in the system of Hindu religion. But scholars point out that this sect is not associated with any Hindu philosophy,   “ Tantrism is neither Buddhist nor Hindu in origin. It seems to be a religious undercurrent originally independent of any abstruse metaphysical speculation, flowing on from an obscure point of time in the religious history of India, ” Dasgupta in Obscure religious cult page 27.   He further added, “ Side by side with the commonly known theological speculations and religious practices, there has been flowing in India asimportant undercurrent of esoteric yogic practices from a pretty old time. These esoteric practices, when associated with the theological speculations of the Saivas and the S

Good or bad, voice calls you within

  “It is the inner voice that guide me for my action,” said a 7-year-old girl Sara to her friend softly but confidently. She looks all around and continued, “My mother said that we all have good and bad voices inside us and within us and therefore I daily offer prayer that my good voice should speak loud.” This is not the new thing to talk and not even children discuss such things but even grown-up talk about such moral and evil design inside us. The story of good and bad voices is a story of generations and it went like this even for generations. Whenever there is a debate on morality, the story of good and bad voices emerged in one or in other way. The theory of good and bad voices, say, that every human I shaving two powers within and these two powers are good and bad and these powers always and mostly on every issue suggest or guide to do things accordingly, and, we are the judge who decide which power is better. It is we, who decide to hear the voices of good one or bad one. I
