mithya | मिथ्या
mithya (Devanagari: मिथ्या ISO15919: mithyā) means
- false
- non-existent or illusion
- not ever lasting
Some advait vedanti refer to the world as mithya or illusion. That is incorrect interpretation. The material world was created by God and it exists.
The material world does not does not last forever. That is why the world is called mithya.
Also, the expectation of getting permanent bliss from this world is also false. When the world won't last then how can the bliss from it last forever. This is another reason the world is called mithya (or false).
