Guest guest Posted March 19, 2007 Report Share Posted March 19, 2007 Thus Spake The Lord We now know that Maya is like a mirror. The mirror reflects within itself all that is before it. The convexity or concavity of the mirror, or the covering of dust that might have settled on it will certainly blur the reflected image, but it cannot distort the objects themselves. The Almighty God, the objective world, and the individualized self (Ishwara, prakrithi and jeeva) - all three are images of the Supreme Soul reflected in the mirror of Maya and warped by the qualities (gunas) that tarnish the surface of the mirror. It is the mirror that pictures the One as the many. But the One is ever One! The One is comprehensive of all this. So it has no wants, no desires and no activity to realize anything. Sri Krishna tells Arjuna, "There is nothing I have to do in any of the three worlds." He has willed the world as His Sport. He has laid down that every deed must have its consequences. He is the dispenser of the consequences, but He is not involved in the deeds. Reference: Sathya Sai Speaks; Vol. XIV, P. 157-162. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
