Of course, that is just an intellectual explanation. The point is to

actually sit down and let go of the mistake we are in, so our highest

consciousness can merge with our awareness, or however one wants to put it.

A good time to start would be this very moment, and the logical place to

start would be the computer in from of you. How can you actually see the

computer in front of you as a low level illusion? How can you see the

computer as not really solid?

Om Namah Sivaya

 

This universe and all of existence, is maya, the Power

of Siva. While God is absolutely real, His emanated

world is relatively real. Being relatively real does

not mean the universe is illusory or nonexistent, but

that it is IMPERMANENT and SUBJECT TO CHANGE. It is an

error to say that the universe is mere illusion, for

it is entirely real when experienced in ORDINARY

consciousness, and its existence is required to lead

us to God. However with the knowledge (JNANA) of the

identity of Jiva and Siva, maya disappears just as the

mistaken idea of a snake (in a rope-snake) is removed

by the right knowledge of the rope.

Jnana is divine wisdom emanating from an enlightened

being, a soul in its maturity, immersed in Sivaness,

the blessed realization of God,while living out

earthly karma. Jnana is the fruition of yoga tapas.

The state of jnana lies in the realm of intuition,

beyond the intellect.

 

Sri Ramakrishna’s saying: ‘It is the Knowledge of God

alone that gives liberation.’

Namaste,

 

As

relative to Shiva, all power is Mother and Maya is Hers. God, world and all words are not the

things in themselves. The world

appears real because it reflects the Self, Siva, the sense of realness comes

from within us and it is the source of the knowledge of it’s own totality. But it must be sought out and found,

not only talked about. Jnana,

bhakti, God, Siva all words for the same thing. Music may be described as notes, but it is what it is.
