S.S. Cohen - Guru Ramana - Memories & Notes, Maya, 14th June 1948

[Guest guest]

 

14th June, 1948

 

Mr. Subbaramayyah, the late Professor of English, is

a frequent visitor. Whenever he comes he discusses ancientVedantic books with the Master. Today’s talk is aboutKaivalyam. Maya comes up in the middle and claimsattention. Sri Bhagavan explains:

 

“Every plane has its own illusion, which can be destroyed

only by another illusion on the same plane. For example, aman takes a full meal and goes to sleep. He dreams of beinghungry in spite of the jagrat food in his stomach. To satisfythe dream hunger, he has to take dream food. A wound indream requires dream treatment. A great king once dreamtthat he was ill but was too poor to call a doctor. He had tobeg the doctor’s fees from his friends to receive medical help.Although he had fabulous wealth in the waking state, it couldbe of no use to him in the dream state. Similarly the illusion

of ajnana (ignorance) can be destroyed only by the illusion

 

of guru-upadesa (the Master’s teaching). Mukti (liberation)

is ever-present and bondage ever-absent, yet the universalexperience is the reverse.”
