Understanding Maya 2

#

When you see sun is rising and settings But you know it doesn’t

Approx 72 inch is human body height One inch in eye size One tenth is size of pupil in the eye A small dust particle is enough to stop us seeing the world around But we can big objects around and compare From eyes we know a cow is bigger than a goat Goat is bigger than cat Cat is bigger than mouse Mouse is bigger than ant Ant is bigger than sugar particle None of these objects or their sizes exists in our mind Still we can compare Retina of eye convert light signals to electric signals Brain processes electric signals Processing of these signals is chemical process Process is same for all human being But even after that we all understand the world in different way It is Maya.

We see around thousands of broken heart Thousands of broken marriage Thousands of cheating and deceiving around. But we still want get married, still have friends, relations This is Maya.

We have not seen our great grandparents We know we have come from those human We know they have disappeared We know we will also disappear at one moment But we still behave like we are permanent here.

We know great Kings of earlier time had huge wealth, empire, power, Large families, buildings etc. Today we don’t see those kings around Probably their great grandchildren are begging on the roads. But we still want to work and earn like Our earnings can make our children and great grandchildren safe. This is Maya.

We buy insurance, pension, large houses Big cars, beautiful foreign destination to buy comfort and hope happiness will come, Security will come. We know many are suffering even after having all these But we still want to have more. This is maya.

Couple see many parents are abundant by their children Many children have been suffering since childhood. Many accidents and tragedies bring pain for the whole family. Many mistreat their parents. Abuse their property and compromise values and positions. But we still see happiness in having children This is maya.

We have taken birth. Grown up and matured enough. If we understand the maya clearly. Then there is nothing to do. There is no goal, no work, even basic earning for survival looks meaningless It looks like there is nothing else to do in the world.

Now, when we are just sitting idle without any work, we feel let’s go and play In the process of play we get entangled in the game. We got to the extent that we want to own the playground and other players. We want to determine the rules of the game in the playground. This is maya.

One day when we are kicked out of the playground Then we realize, play was real our attitude towards the playing caused us all pain, suffering and miseries.

O Chaitanya, play well Ready to drop whatever you acquired through your hard play. Your giving, taking, producing all are happening in Maya.
