Guest guest Posted September 15, 2001 Report Share Posted September 15, 2001 Preamble: Swamiji elaborates the subject further: Verse 14 Roodaah Vidyaa Jaganmaaya Dehesti dhwata roopini / Tadwaarakah Prakaasshashcha Guru shabdena kathyate // Illusion has changed into the world. She herself is the delusion and personification of TAMAS. That delusion is embedded strongly in the body of every being. The light that can dispel the delusion is called GURU. Illusion and Delusion are one. It envelops our body in the form of darkness. The more one wants to flee away from it, the more does it grow in him. That is the very nature of illusion. One begins think, "What is this? Even as I try to enter into the spiritual path, this darkness is growing in me." There is one reason for this. You have not really started the spiritual life, but whiling away your time just thinking of beginning it. Your mind doesn't permit you to start the spiritual life indeed. As you have a big house with compound, fame, wife and children, how can your mind allow you to enter into the spiritual path. Your mind can't enter. Even at the time of death, you will be pondering and brooding over these things. This is but illusion and darkness. The only light that can prevent it is the one called GURU.
