Śrīmad Devī Bhāgavatam 1.2 Commentary 2: the Manblunder
SDB 1.2 Comments: the Manblunder
* Manblunder: the incorrect, ignorant cultural assumption and religious bias that the Creator or ultimate support of the universe must be male in gender.
* Especially prominent in the Abrahamic religions: Judaism, Christianity and Islam.
* But also seen in Hinduism, especially the Vaiṣṇava cult.
* Māyā is constructed in layers like an onion.
* Each layer seems self-consistent, but only because it is based on a false assumption.
* Confirmation bias makes each layer of māyā seem logical.
* “Confirmation bias is the tendency to search for, interpret, favor, and recall information in a way that affirms one's prior beliefs or hypotheses. It is a type of cognitive bias and a systematic error of inductive reasoning. People display this bias when they gather or remember information selectively, or when they interpret it in a biased way. The effect is stronger for desired outcomes, for emotionally charged issues, and for deeply-entrenched beliefs. People also tend to interpret ambiguous evidence as supporting their existing position.” — Wikipedia
* Spiritual truth cannot be known by inductive reasoning (aroha-vāda) only by deductive reasoning (avaroha-vāda) from scriptural revelation recorded by the Self-realized Sages.
* oṁ ajñāna-timirāndhasya jñānāñjana-śalākayā cakṣur unmīlitaṁ yena tasmai śrī-gurave namaḥ ”I was born in the darkness of ignorance, and my enlightened spiritual master opened my eyes with the torchlight of his realization. Therefore I offer my respectful obeisances unto him."
