Yet the question of any ultimate purpose if any remained unanswered. For the individual the goal was Moksha, to escape from the Law of karma and the cause of karma, that is birth itself. But the world itself seemed a meaningless absurdity, a purposeless extravaganza of creation. The remaining question is not only who am I or what this creation, not even perhaps how the individual soul, a portion of the Divine got into this ‘net of Maya’, this drama of life on the stage of Time and Space.
