The Yoga-Vasishtha Maharamayana of Valmiki, Vol. 2 (of 4), Part 2 (of 2)

"The Yoga-Vasishtha Maharamayana of Valmiki, Vol. 2 (of 4), Part 2 (of 2)" by Valmiki is a timeless exploration of reality and self, originating from ancient Indian literature. This part of work uses dialogues between Rāma and Sage Vasishtha to question fundamental beliefs about existence and consciousness. Vasishtha introduces the idea that our world and experiences are essentially illusions created by the mind, comparing them to dreams and mirages to illustrate that what we perceive as real is not always the ultimate truth. As Rāma seeks understanding, the book examines ignorance versus knowledge, the complexities of consciousness, and the continuous cycle of life and death, providing a deep dive into philosophical ideas.
