Guest guest Posted June 28, 2002 Report Share Posted June 28, 2002 Jaya Guru Datta, Here is today's saying: “Although Ishwara is of the form of reflection in Maya, He is the Lord of Maya. Because Ishwara himself is in possession of Satva Guna, he keeps Maya under control by the power of Satva Guna. Therefore there are no modifications in his form. When the same Ishwara gets annexed with Taamasi, He becomes the cause for creation. This Ishwara has many names such as Avyaakrita, Saguna Brahma, Shabala Brahma, Mayashabala Brahma, Antaryaami and so on. He Himself is both the Upadana Karana as well as the Nimitta Karana for the universe, just as the spider is both the Material cause as well as the Efficient cause for the web. Such Ishwara is of the form of Sat-Chit- Ananda.” In Sanskrit: Mayaa bimbita roopopi Maayedeesho nanu bhavati Ishassatvaalamba balaat Avikrita roopo vasha maayah Aashrita taamasi raapnoti Trijagan nirmiti kaaranataam Sahyavyaakrita naamaaste Saguna shshabalo vaa brahma Brahma maayaashabalopi Antaryaamee viditoyam Heturupaadaa – naakhyopi Bhavati nimittaa khaatashcha Lootaavat kila jagato yam Eesha ssachidaa nandaatmaa Sri Swamiji Journey In To the Self (Lessons In Vedanta) Volume – 2 pp. 12 – 13 Sri Guru Datta, Swamiji Says __________ Win a first-class trip to New Orleans and vacation Elvis Style!.
