Guest guest Posted March 18, 2007 Report Share Posted March 18, 2007 Thus Spake The Lord The philosophers of all lands and all times have sought to discover the truth about God, the objective world and man, as well as their mutual relationship. Maya is the Will that causes all three. It is a clear flawless mirror. When the saatwik nature is reflected in that mirror, God results; when the raajsik nature is reflected, the individualized self (jeeva) results. It is ever anxious to grow, to grab, to survive and to be secure. When the taamsik nature is reflected, matter (the objective world) is the result. All three are Paramatman, the Supreme Soul; they derive their reality as Its reflections. When undergoing reflections, they attain different forms and combinations of characteristics. The One becomes many; everyone of the many is Real only because of the One in it. Maya, too, is a component of the One; by the emphasis on that component, the One transformed Itself into the many. Reference: Sathya Sai Speaks; Vol. XIV, P. 157-162. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
