Maya means illusion or boundaries and can be quite
confusing. It does not mean that the world is not real. The world is made up of
real experiences through which we gain real knowledge into the nature of our purusa or our real being. It is not the
world that is the illusion, but our interpretation of the experience.
Millionaires come and go. Beauty fades. What might be
important today might mean nothing tomorrow. Understanding this we realize that
the maya or the illusion is in
believing that life is about boundaries, bank accounts and material
possessions. It is not the material world that defines us, but rather it is how
we use the material world to define and refine our being. We need the world to help us create our
lives. We are here as a physical and mental being to assist the soul’s
evolution and so we need the world to help us evolve.
To best understand this, suppose something makes you
angry. It is not the “something” that makes you angry, but rather your interpretation
of the experience and how you choose to experience it. Understanding this you have
the opportunity to evolve, which is simply to change the passion of anger to
kindness and this is known as working your karma. But it takes seeing the world
for what it is – simply experiences for the soul to evolve, and then stepping back
into a balanced state of being which requires strength and flexibility. This
all takes work and that is karma. Let’s get started.
Simply remember that everything in the world is real.
It is here for your evolution. The maya
or illusion is in believing that everything is permanent and more important
than the journey of your soul. Use the world, but do not be used by the world.
Remember you are a steward of life so use it wisely. To overcome maya detach without indifference.
Observe everything with an objective eye. Remove the emotional attachment and
you will discover clarity. You will begin to understand why you are here and
what you have to learn. See every problem as an opportunity to learn, know and
master your life
But remember if you fall into the D-GAP and you block
knowledge, feelings, vitality(health) and/or free will (choice) it will be
impossible to understand maya and to see the forest for the trees.
EGO: the ego thinks it knows all, puts up a good front
when it comes to feelings, takes physical health and vitality for granted and
still believes it can control both the cause and the effect of things. It tries
to use the world for its own gain rather than for preservation and continuation
which is the true purpose of the ego. Humble yourself and bow to your soul. It will
always show you the maya if you take the time to step back and observe
the true purpose of life – it is about the evolution of your soul.
Namaste ~ may you go with health, happiness and peace
