SHREE SANT KATHAMRUT by Das Ganu Maharaj

[Guest guest]

      Whatever we see around us is the trick of the Maya (illusion). This

universe is formed by the union of the Maya and the Bramhan.”

 

      Thereupon, Narayan asked, "Who is this Maya? Who created her? What is her

nature? You have explained to me that the prime cause for the universe is

the Chaitanya. The universe is not different from it. Where does then, this

Maya come from?”

 

      Maharaj replied to this. 'Listen to me carefully. I will explain to you how

Maya came into being. The very power of the Chaitanya, She had adorned the

Chaitanya entirely. You cannot separate them as sweetness cannot be

separated from treacle (jaggery). One cannot separate the light from the

Sun. The union of these two has created the Universe.

 

      My son this is the case here too. The Sun makes itself known due to its

radiance. This similarity exists between Maya and Bramhan. Maya, however is

limited but Chaitanya is infinite. Both of them are permanently ancient.

Maya is the primal matter and Chaitanya is the soul. Dnanraja (Dnaneshwar)

has discussed the soul and Maya in the Amrutanubhav (The Dnaneshwari). I

will therefore not repeat it. I will only introduce that spiritual cave to

you.

 

      Those who enter that cave stay in there for ever in lasting bliss. They do

not come out of it. The soul is the root cause of everything. Maya is the

effect. This Maya is very important, Oh Narayan! Maya gives rise to ego

which makes one feel one's individuality. When Maya engulfs something one

loses the sense of truth. Maya has two qualities. Maya covers everything

that exists. What does not exists, Maya makes it appear as if it does. Those

are the two things, Maya does. She, thus, confuses everybody. A labourer

dreams that he has become a king. Here, his existence as a labourer is,

first, covered by the Maya. Though there is no kingship, Maya creates the

illusion. Thus, Maya covers the Bramhan and projects a different picture. In

fact, this universe does not exist. There is only one true thing and that is

the Chaitanya. However, due to the Maya, it appears as the universe. The

properties of the universe appear to be true though the universe itself is

all illusory. This is what causes inauspiciousness. Therefore you must

remove the veil of the Maya and see the Chaitanya with the help of the

knowledge. You will find that you are everything yourself. When water loses

its turbidity, one sees clear water. Similarly, when the turbidity due to

the Maya is removed, the Chaitanya will re-appear clearly. You must worship

that reality, Oh Narayan! I have to tell this to everybody.

 

      The soul is the reality. The main purpose of the spiritual knowledge is to

explain this principle. You must realize this soul and achieve the

absolution in this birth only.

On listening to this sermon, everybody was completely satisfied. They

started prostrating before the Lord. Oh children, assimilate what Baba told

lovingly to Vaidhya Sathe, Chandorkar, Berey, Nana, Nimonkar, Maruti Laxman

and Noolkar. All the devotees said, "Amen' and prostrated before Baba again

and again. How can there be the darkness of ignorance where the Sun of

knowledge shines?

 

      Oh Sai Maharaj! please accept this child. Please allow Das Ganu to sit by

the cool shadow of your grace. Sai Maharaj -the cloud of knowledge showered

this nectar in this Shri.Sant Kathamrut. Ganu is requesting you to enjoy

this nectar. This is the end of the fifty seventh chapter.
