Sage Dattatreya
Just as the magician's tricks delude the audience alone and not himself, so also the veiling of Maya affects the creatures and not the Creator; when the individuals are held in the meshes of Maya, they see diversity and also discuss maya. This maya is the dynamic aspect of the latent self-sufficiency of the Supreme and its unfailing. See how yogis, charmers and magicians remain confident and sure, without revealing themselves, and yet play upon the imagination of others, seeking to achieve the impossible.
Division in the Absolute amounts to contraction within particular limits under the guise of the ego, which is usually termed imperfection, or ignorance. In this matter, Bhargava, has the Absolute invested its own pure and independent Self with ignorance and seems to be iridescent with its different entities. Hence the identity of space with the Self is not apparent to the learned, because they are incapable of investigating the Self with a steady mind, for the mind is diverted by its inherent disposition to go outward.
Second-hand knowledge of the Self gathered from books or Gurus can never emancipate a man until its truth is rightly investigated and applied to himself; direct Realization alone will do that. Therefore, follow my advice and realize yourself, turning the mind inward.
