Bereft of Self, there is nothing in this world.

[Guest guest]

In this world, we would like to keep our personal data safe and secure and hence we use passwords and pin nos. In spite of this many spy out our personal particulars and use it to cheat us. This is due to the advanced technology in which we indulge often. Every scientific invention is like a double edged razor. You have to use it very cautiously lest you may hurt your limbs. Let us take 'electricity'. Nowadays without electricity nothing is possible though we may possess the latest electronic gadget. Unless current flows through it, it won't work. Imagine there is a huge power cut. People will come out of their homes and seek the tree shades to ward off from scorching summer. You may be a millionaire. But your costliest AC or Fridge or even ordinary fan won't work unless there is electricity. Hence people resort to generators and invertors to connect essential electrical appliances during power cut. But here also only current makes it to function. Hence you can not live nowadays without electricity. Ofcourse some remote villages lack even the barest necessity. Likewise it is the self which activates the cosmos. Maya is like the moon which derives power from the Self. Hence the "Self alone pervades and transcends the Universe. Every thing in this cosmos is inert. The Cosmos exists because of the Self and IN THE SELF. Sairam.
