(...) Only the Absolute prevails. The truth is total Brahman (Para Brahman) only, nothing else but Brahman. In a total Brahman state the touch of beingness, `I Am´ started, and with that, separation started, otherness has come. But this `I Amness´ is not just a small principle; that itself is the Mula-Maya, the primary illusion. (...) The great Maya principle is making you do all her tricks, and you are also abiding in what she says, and finally, that light of yours, that beingness, gets extinguished. (...) That Maya is so powerful that it gets you completely wrapped up in it. Maya means `I Am´, `I love to be´. It has no identity except love. That knowledge of `I Am´ is the greatest foe and the greatest friend. Although it might be your greatest enemy, if you propitiate it properly, it will turn around and lead you to the highest state." expert from Prior to Consciousness by Nisargadatta Maharaj Metta, Era Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
