Here is a comment from an enlightened one about Maya:
> > Namaste GuruJ. Namaste Dear One, > > *In response to your post below: Why does the veil of illusion even exist? S The truth is that illusion does not exist in reality It appears real due to a knot of attachment that has been formed A mistake or misperception assuming the body and mind are the self This mistake is formed by self interested activity - wanting enjoyment and good things for the self...wanting to know and gather in this way the movement of ignorance (attachment to mind and body) is perpetuated and seems to be a separate entity, but it cannot be- it is truly the forces of nature or clashing energy that are taking place - it is energy bound and energy patterns in motion. In truth, there is no separate, objective existence, but the one caught in illusion takes the projections for reality and wanders there. *I realize it's a joke, but it seems like a cruel one. :( S The joke is not God's - God is faultless, free from all the antics...it is karma in motion/past actions and all, so to be free of the mistake, the tools of the heart (spiritual practices and guides) manifest to the sincere seeker. The cosmic joke is had when the knot is dissolved and the understanding comes that all is God - that there has never been a seeker, nothing separate has ever and can ever exist...this is the good laugh that gets all kinds of mileage. > > Love, > Amy May the laughter bloom continue to allow the petals to unfold Om Shanti Siddhananda
