483: The World is a Reflection

Ouch! Wisdom of the Sages gets rejected by Madhava’s Rock Band (we love them anyway) / Diti puts a pause on her pregnancy (we’re beyond uniformitarianism over here) / we can fight the law - but the law always wins / the first description of the spiritual world / the metaphor of the upside-down banyan tree / illusion follows desire / the metaphor of the reflection in the window / it’s not that dogs & vegan doughnuts don’t exist - it’s just that we are trying to enjoy their reflections SB 3.15.1-19
