Hare Krishna!!

We all are engrossed by three tight knots of illusory energy. Nobody, in this material world, can deny it. How this illusory energy works?? Obviously, we should know about it, so that we can get out of the terrible stings of this dreadful bee.

Let’s have a go through to this illusory energy..

What is Maya,and Who is Maya devi? Maya or material energy is the assistant of The Supreme Personality of Godhead, Lord Krishna. (Bhagavad Gita 9.10)

In Bhagavad Gita(7.14), The Supreme Lord mentions that nobody can get out of the illusory effect of Maya devi, except only one who is surrendered unto Him. The material energy or Maya is very strict assistant, appointed by The Supreme Lord to rectify our theaf mentality and in the end purify our desire of enjoying spirit seperated from the Lord.

Maya or this wonderful illusory energy of The Lord, makes us fearful even in our dreams. It binds us tightly to this material world, because of our desire to lord it over the nature. A fearful or a binded person cannot get out of such condition by his own endeavor. Another fearful or binded person cannot help such a person. It is termed as foolishness. And, we are committing such foolish acts. We depend on material plans and projects which will give us no permanent benefit, it would only deplete our consciousness with ignorance or avidyā and bind us to this material world. We think our plans would help us, but Maya devi crashes the plane of our mundane plans, so the jivas(conditioned souls) understand that we can only achieve the real & permanent happiness by turning the face towards Krsna, The Supreme Personality of Godhead, the original controller, enjoyer,and the proprietor, the merciful father of all. ahaṁ bīja-pradaḥ pitā(Bg.14.4)

As the Lord says in Bg. 10.8,

ahaṁ sarvasya prabhavo

mattaḥ sarvaṁ pravartate

iti matvā bhajante māṁ

budhā bhāva-samanvitāḥ

“I am the source of all spiritual and material worlds. Everything emanates from Me. The wise who perfectly know this engage in My devotional service and worship Me with all their hearts.”

What to do then?? We need the help of one who is unbound or fearless,who speaks the truth, who is a liberated soul. We need the help of Sastras, via the transparent medium of a bonafide spiritual master. Then only, we can overcome the illusion of material world or avidyā, ignorance.

For our benefit The Supreme Personality of Godhead as mercifully spoken the Bhagavad-Gītā, by giving us a chance to go back home, back to Godhead, and finally living a life eternity, full of knowledge, and bliss.

So, Let’s get ourselves out of this illusory energy and experience the eternal happiness which is beyond material spheres, beyond the illusory energy.

Let’s read and learn to practice Bhagavad Gita As It Is and get ourselves purified by the transcendental knowledge of eternal journey.

Hare Krishna!
