"The very first step in understanding what this is all about is giving up the concept of an active, volitional 'I' as a separate entity and accepting the passive role of perceiving and functioning as a process." - Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj

God Real, World Illusory

Sri Sarada Devi

The Master has predetermined what he is going to accomplish. If anyone surrenders himself totally at his feet, the Master will see that everything is set right. One must bear everything.

The Master used to say, “A person may have no relatives anywhere but Mahamaya may cause him to keep a cat and thus make him worldly. Such is Her play!”
*****************************************************
Q: Why do I not see the Master?

A: Continue to pray without losing your heart. Everything will happen in time. For how many cycles did the Munis and the Rishis of old practise austerities to realize God, and do you believe you will attain to Him in a flash? If not in this life, you will attain to Him in the next. If not in the next, it will be after that. Is it so easy to realize God? But this time the Master has shown an easy path: therefore it will be possible for all to realize God.
*************************************************
Don’t worry, my child. Our Master alone is Maheswara (Supreme God) and Maheswari (Supreme Goddess) as well. He alone is the embodiment of all deities. He alone is the embodiment of all mystic syllables. One can worship through him all Gods and Goddesses. You can address him as Maheswara and Maheswari.

Does one get faith by mere study of books? Too much reading creates confusion. The Master used to say that one should learn from the scriptures that God alone is real and the world illusory.

सर्वानुग्राहकत्वेन तद्स्म्यहं वासुदेवः॥

That in whom reside all beings and who resides in all beings,
who is the giver of grace to all, the Supreme Soul of the universe, the limitless being:
I AM THAT. -- Amritabindu Upanishad
