Food for thought

My understanding of the Advaita branch of thinking is that, the world is maya, not because it is essentially unreal, but because of its seeming insignificance compared to the Brahman. That being the case, from the point of view of the world under the influence of Maya, the Brahman's eternity and infinity would in fact, make the Brahman unreal. Sure Brahman is real, but, it is infinite, omnipresent, unchanging and eternal so it might have as well been unreal......

Sure it is..the phenomenon is "COMPLEX". half the thing is real and the other half is imaginary!!
