yesterday was having lunch with a yoga friend who has been going to india since the eighties we were talking to the waiter...the following was said: waiter: where are you from in Lebanon? friend: i am not from planet earth w:what do u mean f: how old are u? w: 24 years old f: very well, where were you 25 years ago? w:dont know f: where will you be after 100 years? w: dont know f: see no one is from earth...we are all passing pilgrims. Even this plant, this table etc..they don’t belong to earth…. the waiter was astonished by my friend words….
Then my friend told me: Everything is impermanent..coming and going…like this lunch now, we came to have lunch then we have to go…. Maya is not that bad …it is part of the Self, even if it is illusory….maya should not be shunned ,just enjoy it without taking it seriously… Maya is so powerful because it is divine. it is part of the Self You know if you reverse Maya you get I AM (English meaning) or AYAM (the sound vibration mantra of DM)
AYAM/MAYA
