Guest guest Posted March 15, 2007 Report Share Posted March 15, 2007 Thus Spake The Lord The clouds appear to be stuck in the sky; so, too, Maya gives us an untrue picture of the Supreme Being. It makes us believe that the world is real. Its impact warps our reasoning process, our sensory impressions and our views on God, on creation and on man. It spreads before us a diversity which tantalizes and deceives. The basic Truth upon which Maya projects its kaleidoscope is described by seers as Sath-Chit-Ananda (Being-Awareness-Bliss). This does not mean that the Supreme Being has three attributes, namely: It exists beyond time and space; It knows and can be known; It is the source and the acme of Bliss. They are not three distinct characteristics; they indicate the One, of which the three can be grasped by experience - not by words, for words can only recoil before that Godhead. We cannot assert that the Supreme Being belongs to a class or genes, nor can it be defined by the three basic qualities. It cannot be described as performing any specific activity, for It is ever motionless. Nor can It be explained in terms of relationship with other entities, for It is One, without a second. Reference: Sathya Sai Speaks; Vol. XIV, P. 157-162. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
