Moola Prakriti robs away Sat-Chit-Ananda

[Guest guest]

Jaya Guru Datta,

 

Here is today's saying:

 

“The Moola Prakriti itself expands and assumes innumerable strange guises.

 

Causing sleep state everyday; to nullify the faculty of remembrance - these are

brought by Maya. During this state, She (Maya) assumes the name Sushupti. She

causes Pralaya (total destruction) in every Kalpa (Kalpa is a day of Brahma,

which is a period of one thousand Yugas equivalent to 4,320 million years of

mortals). During the Pralaya, she assumes the name Maha Sushupti.

 

When there is predominance of Satva Guna, she is called as Maya. When Rajas is

predominant, she is called Avidya. When Tamas is predominant, she is called

Taamasi. Thus, she has many names.

 

When 'Satpadartha' (Atma Chaitanya) reflects in (the above mentioned) Maya, it

is Ishwara. If it (sat-padartha) reflects in Avidya, it is called Jeeva. If it

reflects in Taamasi, it becomes Jagat. In this way, the Moola Prakriti robs

away Sat-Chit-Ananda from us."

 

In Sanskrit:

 

Moola prakriti ssaivaishaa

Moorchati naanaadbhuta veshaa

 

Dina dina supti sthiti kartree

Saiva sushupti ssmriti hartree

Kalpe kalpe laya kartree

Mahaa sushupti ssaiva mataa

 

Satvodriktaa saa maayaa

Rajah pradhaanaa saavidyaa

Tamah pradhaanaa saa taamasee

Iti kila saiva pathitaaste

 

Maayaa bimbita sadeeshwaro

Jeevo avidyaa bimbita sat

Jagadatha taamasa bimbita sat

Saivam sachidaananda haraa
