The Infinite Game
The Infinite Game
| "Illusion" and the "Game" are deeply interwoven concepts, for nothing in the Game is "real". In the back of Hesse's Glass Bead Game there are three life stories, and the last is entirely concerned with a yogi's demonstration of the power of Maya (illusion). To quote from there-"and was what he was experiencing this moment, what he saw before his eyes, awakening from rulership and war and imprisonment, standing beside the spring, his gourd from which he had just spilled a little water, together with what he was now thinking about it all-was not all this made of the same stuff? Was it not dream, illusion, Maya?" -- Narada |
