Guest guest Posted March 21, 2005 Report Share Posted March 21, 2005 The JOY called Raghava wrote: From the above 'life' and 'maya' are synchronous and wonderful. (This "above" is now below.) -======================= the hands called gp writes: In the Eternal NOW, called the Self, this maya that we call life is indeed “wonderful,” beyond our wildest dreams. It is wonderful because it is the Joy that is the Self itself. This Joy has been called sphurana, Kundalini; and undiluted with thoughts it is the Samadhi of dreamless-sleep. When thoughts keep the mind blind to the NOW then these thoughts create all sorts of dualities, like time. These dualities define the karma that maya needs to be entertaining, lila. Karma is the wild-goose-chase that thoughts define as they chase each other around the never-changing and eternal NOW. Identify with the thoughts that we call the mind and we are the karma generators, called thoughts, the mind. Be aware that the mind is what it thinks, just thoughts, and this Awareness is the “wonderful” Joy called Self. The Self is this JOY that personifies the entertainment called maya, life. And this Joy also includes all the wild-goose-chases called karma that makes and keeps maya, life, entertaining. -- this eternal and changeless JOY -- that is NOW -- you are, and only thoughts can think otherwise. alias gp =-=================== Shree GP ji wrote:- I have no paths to find or travel because I am the eternal Home called Silence and Joy that cannot be lost, not even on the wild-goose-chase the Hindus call maya and we call life.

Matthew 16:25 - For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: and whosoever will lose his life for my sake shall find it. Matthew 6:25 - Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment? >From the above 'life' and 'maya' are synchronous and wonderful. Thanks, Raghava ..

Raghava:- Original sin in the Bible - Genesis synchronises with the origin of maya. This has been loosely translated as 'sin' in English, and one has to go back to the original Hebrew/Greek to understand it without negative connotations and its mysterious nature. So is the case with all sins and evil - - this is the mystery. >so that religions and their preachers can then >rule the world, with the help of the devil himself. Preachers can never last long with this approach IMHO. What is needed is the advaitic assertion - Exodus 3:14 "And God said unto Moses, I AM THAT I AM:" John 10:30 - I and my Father are one stating the oneness of jivAtma and paramAtma.
