Maya in simple terms could be defined as a superimposed reality on Truth and what is truth for if not to set you free from the eternal bondage of the play of life and death. Allegorically MAYA could be both good and bad; when part of the supreme power to set things straight and his will on Earth it is in the mode of goodness and when it is to bind us in the context of harming the self or the environment it is evil in nature. Maya in a personal node could be our general or unpolished understanding of various occurrences and activities that surround us or is inside us because of the lack of a person to give us a path and understanding like a Guru or a Master. Its wider phenomenon is the general understanding in a society that we live in and what is taught to us from childhood either by educational institutions or by the ruling class of nations or even a village.
We believe we live in a condition called life in its vivid
array where locomotives take us to fancy places of work and leisure according
to the time and convenience of our watches and planners and we are in a state
of constant travel to seek pleasures or run a family in accordance to the
society we live in, avoiding ill fame and poverty in our paths and this is what
modern life is all about and which is followed by almost every responsible individual
on Earth. But is it life though? Life in
the meaning of senses is an experience to be witnessed by our consciousness
where the information of our surroundings are being fed to us through our 5
informative senses and we find blemishes in the world as lack of our personal necessities
and try to find solutions to what we don’t have; from food and clothing to big
buildings and cars. We see problems in every situation and our lives sum up to
an action to find a solution to all modern ailments and that has become the
burden of humanity now which is very rewarding too.
Now Living in the
meaning of understanding are lessons to be learned and to remain on moral
grounds and to become a support for our planet rather than being a burden to it.
Life has to be learned as that large picture or task where man has to take huge
steps and leaps in order to see and experience life for himself in one lifetime of his
remembrance in a walk of truth and on a planet where moral giants have previously
walked a life worth sharing. We have to walk in their footsteps to reach
our address to a home that is worth remembering even after we leave onto the
clutches of inevitable death.
