My dear angel,

 

Let me clear it that no where i wrote that we should induldge

in the world, without any renunciation. I meant is that Maya has to

be understood, and transcended and for this running away from Maya

will not do.

 

Paths aside, if we wish to understand the core of Hinduism, we

have to study Krishna (not from a sect's eyes - but with the eyes of

a true seeker). Krishna is embodiement of religion. All other

avataars before him, were either for killing a particular demon or

for a specific purpose. None of them was perfect not even Rama.

Kaliyug was approaching and the Existence thought it best to give an

example of ideal human, ideal yogi, ideal friend, ideal lover, ideal

warrior, ideal gyani and ideal relative....and Krishna was all of

these.

 

Someone in this club wrote a story earlier... i just recall.

Once all the gopis came to Krishna and told him that they were

looking for a sadhu so that they can offer some food to him as that

day was some special day. Krishna said 'OK offer food to my

guru..and dont worry about Yamuna river...just say aloud if Krishna

is real Brahmchari..o mother yamuna give us way". Gopis

laughed..but when they uttered these words yamuna gave way to them.

They reached the guru and offered him food, who like a hungry for

years man ate all the food left nothing even for prasaad. He blessed

the gopis and told them ok now tell before yamuna if guru has never

eaten anything o yamuna give us way....gopis laughed again but

surprisingly yamuna gave them way again.

 

This little story tells us really how to deal with Maya.

Krishna though looking like enjoying, dancing and loving gopis is a

brahmchari and the guru eating greedily is on Vrata ?

 

So running away from MAYA will not do, induldging in it like

agyani will not do, closing eyes from it will not do.....

 

Maya maha-thhagini hum jaani

 

 

wat is the way out then little angie ?

 

love and blessings

I dont disagree, nor did I impy that you mentioned that we should

induldge in the world, without any renunciation.

 

I agree that maya has got to be understood before renunciating it, I

just tried to become the "advocate of the devil" and fight thoughts

which might arise from too much freedom of morality or too less

freedom of morality.

 

The way through it remains the same, balance, selfobservation and a

healthy relationship with our own mind.
