I have a serious concern here. Since when did people's wish and choice matter in the grand scale on how the universal law operates? To my ears, It is like saying "I do not wish to die, and hence I am founding a new interpretation of vedanta which says "You are immortal." hence the body will be immortal. - like Virochana did during his 32 year brahmacharya with Prajapathi.
If by mere wanting I can avoid merging and emerging with the Cause, then logic and reasoning will be superfluous. At a 'vyavahaarika' level, I can understand the ice formation owing to the coolness of bhakthi etc. But it is only the intermediary stage. There IS a stage beyond this. To find it out is the quest that we have all undertaken.
No one said Maya does not exist, they only say it is anirvachaniyam - unspeakable of.
