mithya

mithya   is called  anirvachaneeya  in sanskrit  .which means  this cannot be explained in one sigle shot.very difficult to understand  thru words. has to be understood thru examples. let us take the example of my shirt. do u see the form is it exists or not. it does exists. is it real? no not real, since it depends upon name and form.the name shirt and its form{nama and rupa} it really depends on the fibreness or cottonness.so the fibre is the basis.and name and form of the shirt isbase on the fibre.so this is mithya.mithya is apparent reality which means its not satyam it exists allright. butdepends on another reality or basis. therefore whatever we see in the world is mithya
