Maya , nyaya, and the philosophical treaties of the Srimad Bhagavatam, a natural commentary of the codes of the vedanta sutra…
In simple terms, if smoke is seen in a distant mountain, one can infer there is fire or if someone found a watch in the long grass in the eighteenth century, naturally a watch maker would be assumed…( see William Paley )
Similarly, the simple arguments that the complexity of a single cell ,with hundreds of nano machines, each performing different functions , implies a designer , following the logic , wherever you find codes it logically applied there must be a code maker , ie , dna codes that produce protein machines , thousands in each cell , that cause the cell to self replicste and build your body , and likewise the bodies of every living thing . In ancient nyaya logical systems of argument, any teleological arguments certainly would be taken as rational and logical and should be today , one should ignore Richard Dawkins when he says ” you should ignore what appears to be intelligentsia in creation “
In a discussion about searching for truth , the main qualifications for participation is that persons are sincerely looking for truth , if a discussion takes place where one or two of the participants are affected by a subjective biased opinions , its unlikely truth will be found or accepted by them
If persons are sincere searchers for truth , and can conduct discussion in logical ways ,….truth actually is self evident to a sincere seeker it is said , and after careful debate with honest persons ,truth will be realised and accepted ,
Thus, the old adage seek and thy shall find can be applied , and in Nyaya, its a reality.
Those who are attached and proud of their speculative meanderings are caught up in the subtleties of Maya , “somethings that is not.” The literal sanskrit meaning of the word maya
