A FUN WAY TO TEACH THE UPANUSADIC WISDOM OF MAYA... 🤓

OPTICAL ILLUSIONS... 😲

At first glance, most folks will, I think, see lines of horses (maybe donkeys) in this picture... 🤔 I certainly did...

But zoom in and you'll see that, actually, these are zebras - the dark images are their shadows... 😲

Maya is the Indian, Upanishadic teaching that tells us that, far from informing us of about the true nature of existence / 'reality', our empirical senses, being just by-product of  Matter: which is an illusionary state - actually delude us, by reinforcing the illusion of Matter - and keep us from realising that the true nature of existence is non-material...

Optical illusions are a fun way of introducing this concept to students...
