This prayer to the material sun is not a single directed appeal but to the veiling nature (Maya) of the whole existence. This plea of humankind is the first sign of a mind which has surpassed the material realm and striving to find the ultimate truth.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">\n<div dir=\"ltr\">&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">\n<p>Through this prayer, we are asking the sun to unveil its dazzling cover and open the gateway and let us see the absolute truth.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h2 dir=\"ltr\">Maya: The insight<\/h2>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">\n<p>This verse introduces the concept that something is shrouding reality from us which was represented by the sun but actually, it is more powerful, vast, and deceiving in nature. It has placed an invisible screen in front of our eyes to play a dance of illusion. We take birth, we struggle to survive and we die. This is the basic framework for all of us irrespective of caste, creed, beliefs, or social status.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">\n<p><em>But what is the relevance of this life then?<\/em><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 1.8rem;\">&nbsp;<\/span><span style=\"font-size: 1.8rem;\">We all at some point in time ask this question to ourselves or to somebody we don\u2019t recognize.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">\n<p>Quantum theory tells us that the whole universe is existing in the form of waves. It materializes when we see it. It takes the form of what we want to see. All this visible universe is an illusory dramatization of our minds. They call it the \u201cObserver Effect\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">\n<p>Well, that may be true but there are some basic questions still lurking into our minds.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">\n<p>Who has created this magnificent universe with objects, colors, lights and so many other stuff in such innumerable variations? &nbsp;This process of creation is a loop that is constantly emerging from itself and purging the same with the passing of time. We are no exceptions as long as our bodies are concerned.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h2 dir=\"ltr\">The road map<\/h2>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">\n<p>To answer that, we have to dive deep into the concepts of Upanishads. Though there are many Upanishads available, we shall consider ten among them as \u201c<em>Acharya Shankar<\/em>\u201d and written commentaries on them and classify them as the most important among all.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">\n<p>Upanishads, whether it \u201c<b>Isha<\/b>\u201d or \u201c<b>Mandukya<\/b>\u201d, \u201c<b>Katha<\/b>\u201d or \u201c<b>Chandogya<\/b>\u201d all raise their voice in one note which enunciates the \u201cOneness\u201d of this creation and that we are not separated, we are the manifested truth, the existence-consciousness-bliss.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">\n<p>The \u201cBrahman\u201d or the pure consciousness never changes neither it divides or unites. It\u2019s unique with absolute detachment from its creation. It contains nothing within itself; there is nothing outside its existence. It is beyond all limitations of languages and imagination. We cannot see it, hear it, know it or think of it. Description of &#8220;Brahman&#8221; can go on like this for eons but still, we shall always fall short in describing it.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">\n<p>We just said \u201cabsolute detachment from its creation\u201d! But if it is the only existence then how does the concept of \u201ccreation\u201d creep in?<\/p>\n<h4>The treasure hunt<\/h4>\n<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">\n<p>Upanishad again provides us with the answer. Yes! The \u201c<b>Brahman<\/b>\u201d is the one and only pervading this existence and it is utterly undivided. The creation we see is the dreaming state of it and this dream of \u201cBrahman\u201d is termed as \u201cMaya\u201d or the matrix of illusion. Just as we dream and within the dream, we misjudge it with the world we see when we are awake (though both the state of perception is an illusion), we acknowledge the dreaming state of the \u201cAbsolute\u201d as reality and thus fall into the trap of \u201cMaya\u201d.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">This creation is a garden inside a massive dream and we are mesmerized by the conjuring appeal of it though we bleed incessantly by the hidden thorns. This unreality is both true and untrue at the same time.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">\n<p>To understand this concept, let us first discuss the definitions of truth and untruth. The state of existence which remains unchanged in all three periods of time (past, present, and future) is the truth.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">\n<p>Similarly when the state of existence changes with time is untrue. So this world along with our body is untrue because it changes with time. So this \u201cMaya\u201d must be untrue but we can touch and feel this world and perceive the cause and effect duo so it should be true. Ancient sages and thinkers debated a lot on this paradox and ultimately termed it \u201c<strong>Anirvachaniya<\/strong>\u201d or something which can\u2019t be explained with words.<\/p>\n<h2>The identification or misidentification<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">\n<p>\u201c<b>Maya<\/b>\u201d is the tool of creation with which the \u201c<b>Brahman<\/b>\u201d designed its dream. The dream gave rise to a supreme intellect. The main attribute of Intelligence is to dissect the objective existence and that\u2019s what \u201cMaya \u201cdoes. It dissects its own creation to furnish similar objects and in due course dissects those again. So this world is multiplying with its individual changes.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">\n<p><b>\u201cMaya<\/b>\u201d has two sets of tools with which it sustains the illusion and maintains the dreaming state.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">\n<p>\u201c<a href=\"\/mysticscape\/2017\/07\/23\/dancing-shakti\/\"><b>Avarana<\/b><\/a>\u201d The curtain and \u201c<b>Vikshepa<\/b>\u201d meaning distraction are the tools. With the help of \u201c<em>Avarana,<\/em>\u201d it covers the reality from us, and with the help of \u201c<em>Vikshepa<\/em>\u201d, it creates an illusion where the unreal seems real to us.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">\n<p>So \u201cMaya\u201d is the reason and this universe (\u201c<i>samsara<\/i>\u201d) is the result. As \u201cMaya\u201d gives birth to a new form of creation so this form of \u201c<b>Brahma Shakti<\/b>\u201d or absolute energy is attributed to feminine characters. We may defy its rules but to negate the bondage of \u201cMaya\u201d requires an awakened and analytical mind.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">\n<p>This is the reason, we strive to appease Mother Goddess (the feminine form of \u201cBrahman\u201d) so that she drives the curtain off and reveals the truth. At this very moment, the seer beholds his own existence as the absolute truth which plays the same role for all.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h4 dir=\"ltr\">&nbsp;The revelation<\/h4>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">At this point of revelation, the seer becomes one with \u201cBrahman\u201d and realizes for the first time that he was always the ultimate truth captured within his own dream and He is the only one reflected in scattered mirrors. The reflections are untrue so it fades gradually leaving only one absolute existence. That is the true essence of \u201cus\u201d or more accurately \u201c<b>I<\/b>\u201d.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">\n<p>This is the pinnacle of \u201c<b>I awareness<\/b>\u201d or self-realization. There is nothing beyond it. Our eternal journey of birth and death finally concludes.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\"><em>In my next article which is a <a href=\"\/mysticscape\/2017\/07\/23\/dancing-shakti\/\"><strong>sequel<\/strong> <\/a>to this one, I shall discuss the various forms of worship and practices which were actually designed to appease or conquer \u201cMaya\u201d.<\/em><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; &nbsp; \u0939\u093f\u0930\u0923\u094d\u092e\u092f\u0946\u0928 \u092a\u093e\u0924\u094d\u0930\u0946\u0928 \u0938\u0924\u094d\u092f\u0938\u094d\u092f\u093e\u092a\u093f\u0939\u093f\u0924\u0902 \u092e\u0941\u0916\u092e\u094d \u0964 \u0924\u0924\u094d \u0924\u094d\u0935\u0902 \u092a\u0942\u0937\u0928\u094d\u0928\u092a\u093e\u0935\u0943\u0923\u0941 \u0938\u0924\u094d\u092f\u0927\u0930\u094d\u092e\u093e\u092f \u0926\u0943\u0937\u094d\u091f\u092f\u0946 \u0965 \u0967\u096b \u0965 \u201cHiranmayena patrena satyasyapihitam mukham Tat twam pushan apavrinu satya dharmaya dristaye\u201d I have intentionally started this article with this excerpt from \u201cIsha\u201d Upanishad.
