In our preceding discussions, we explored the cosmic dynamics where individual souls are presented with a binary choice: the spiritual path of God or the material path of maya. Despite being fragments of divine bliss and yearning for virtuous qualities inherently, we remain veiled by ignorance and ensnared by maya's influence, leading to cycles of illusion, life, and suffering. Yet, history and present examples offer hope, revealing that liberation from maya is indeed achievable.
Jagadguru Shri Kripalu Ji Maharaj, a luminary of divine knowledge, dedicated his life to guiding souls out of this predicament. Through compelling lectures steeped in logical reasoning and practical wisdom, he elucidated the path to conquering maya—an indomitable force harnessed by Almighty God.
Maya, as explained by Shri Maharaj Ji, is a formidable agent of God, governing creation through insentient yet potent manifestations like earth, water, fire, air, and space. While the Jeeva (individual soul) is a minuscule part of God's sentient power, it remains entranced by maya, forgetting its divine essence and succumbing to material identities and pursuits.
Conquering maya implies winning God's favour. Yet, overpowering God is impossible. The key lies in convincing God to release maya's grip. This concept can be likened to a prison scenario, where inmates (the souls) endure punishments administered by maya (like jailers) for transgressions. Simultaneously, Saints and enlightened beings (reformers) guide us toward spiritual rehabilitation.
Contrary to popular belief, maya isn't an adversary but a benevolent force. Its trials compel the soul to seek redemption and spiritual awakening. Without maya's influence, the soul would remain indifferent to divine guidance.
In essence, liberation from maya is a divine pursuit facilitated by Saints and Gurus. Stay tuned as we delve deeper into the role of a Guru and the path to transcendence!
