如今,萬物和諧的福音降臨,每個人不但感覺自己與鄰人連繫、和解並融為一體,更與祂合而為一;彷彿瑪雅女神的面紗已被撕裂,在那神祕的「原初統一體」之前,如碎片般飄蕩。~尼采,《悲劇的誕生》
【陳真按:瑪雅是古印度哲學裏一位使人對虛幻影像產生真實錯覺的女神,使人對個別生命之空洞與現象多元之虛幻,產生錯覺。叔本華及尼采均借用「瑪雅女神的面紗」一詞,來意象化一種抬舉現世、膨漲個別自我的無知與虛幻;歌頌一種與萬物合為一體的幸福感和慈悲。】
Now, with the gospel of universal harmony, each one feels himself not only united, reconciled, and fused with his neighbor, but as as one with him, as if the veil of maya had been torn aside and were now merely fluttering in tatters before the mysterious primordial unity [Ur-Eine]. –F. Nietzsche《The Birth of Tragedy》.
