Love, Masks, and the Cosmic Drama: Why Pretending Is Inevitable


When I said, “All of us are pretending,” I wasn’t talking about fake smiles or empty promises. I meant it in the Advaitic sense: the entire drama of “I” and “you” is a cosmic role-play, Brahman’s theatre of masks. Even love — when I say “I love you” — is both a pretence and the deepest truth. Pretence, because the separate “me” and “you” don’t exist. Truth, because love is the very essence of that One Reality. In this play, pretending is how the Real shines through.

Hindus, Christians, and Muslims


When I say “Hindus are fools, Christians are fools, and Muslims—don’t even ask—are the biggest fools,” it is not about communities but about ignorance itself. Advaita Vedānta teaches that as long as we cling to rituals, dogmas, and imagined separations, we remain bound by Māyā. The fool is not the Hindu, Christian, or Muslim, but the mind that mistakes the finger pointing to the moon for the moon itself. Wisdom dawns only when we see beyond labels and realize the Self—one without a second. All else is shadow-play.

What is God, Truth, Reality — Name and Form in Vedanta: Why Only Consciousness Is Real


Vedanta teaches that the world is nothing but name-and-form superimposed on the one reality — Consciousness (Brahman, God). Just as a pot is only clay in a particular form, so too all experiences are appearances of Consciousness. The sense of “I” as a separate doer is itself another name-and-form. Realizing this truth dissolves separation, ends sorrow, and reveals our nature as pure bliss. Using analogies such as clay-pot, gold-ornament, and wave-water, this article explores how Vedanta answers common spiritual doubts and points us to the oneness of existence.
