Breaking the power of
Maya.
“What are we supposed to be learning through
our different life cycles…. Is breaking the power of Maya the
same for everyone?”
No learning is possible in lives other than human.
They are just lives to live, to bear the outcomes of what was done
when in human life!
Breaking power of Maya is going past flesh and
blood. It means to lay hands on the treasure of eternal and infinite
happiness. Till this point it is same for all.
Then there is qualitative difference. Everything
depends how the mind is developed into the pure state.
If rice grains, a neatly cooked rice and over
cooked rice in which rice almost dissolves into the water making a
paste are compared with states of mind then the raw grains would
indicate mind under Maya. Paste would indicate the state of mind of
worshiper of formless God where no separate mind is left with the
soul. Soul is completely submerged in the happiness liquid.
The best is the state of mind of devotee neither
too hard, enough of softness and separation and of course not
dissolving into happiness.
Due to difference in the conditions of mind
devotees fetch the greatest of the happiness in the divine realm. In
devotees too there are various categories.
Breaking power of Maya is possible only if God
decides to lift the cover of Maya from the soul out of his grace. His
grace depends on surrender! Degree of surrender depends on degree of
purity of heart and degree of purity depends on the spiritual
practice as directed by saint. To break the power of Maya, one has to
concentrate on spiritual practice. Any practice needs theory so does
the spiritual practice.
Power of knowledge to understand the theory and to
perform spiritual practice is given to human beings only. Hence one
can break the power of Maya only in human form.
