With careful analysis and argumentation, however, every system of philosophy crumbles down. Finally, we have science. Its goal is to reveal the true nature of physical reality. But science too is maayaa. The history of science shows that many past theories, explanations, and convictions of the scientific world were totally wrong.
Science is fruitful maayaa.
Its framework provides us with intellectual satisfactios, and with its results we are able to concoct a great many things to satisfy our need and greed. Thus, not just individual lives but human civilization and institutions are based upon maayaa, of all kinds. We are condemned or blessed to lead a life that is both distorted and enriched by a variety of maayaa. When mind acts, it is knowledge. The universe is like a museum with a most splendid collection of things and processes.
