What Shri Mataji says about going beyond the illusions...

[Guest guest]

Dear All,

 

Shri Mataji talked about going beyond the illusions. The Hindus call illusion

" Mahamaya " .

The other day I told you how to clean yourself as your Mother's name itself is

" Nirmala " and it contains many powers. The first word is NIH which means " not "

(meaning) something that actually does not exist, but appears to exist! It is

called Mahamaya (illusion), and the world is like that; it is seen, but it is

not true. If we are involved into it, we feel that it is the only thing we have

to live for. Then we feel that economic conditions are bad, everything around is

is bad and we are not happy about anything.

 

Water on the sea surface is very dirty and turbid. Many objects are seen

floating on it. But if we go deep into the sea, there is so much beauty, wealth

and power, that we forget that on the surface the water is so bad. The point is

that everything that you see around is 'illusion'. You must remember first of

all (that) 'it is nothing'! If you (want) to establish 'NIH', you have to tell

yourself whenever a thought comes that 'it is not there'. You have to feel this

again and again. Then you will understand the meaning of 'NIH'.

 

(It's not only that) the illusion that you see is just an illusion; but there is

something beyond that.
