[It's not nice to make Mother angry.] Prakriti is God's Maya or lila-shakti (play, of the gunas), as such it has no reality and is essentially an illusion. "Be without the three gunas", reveal the secret of 'arriving' (expanding into) at the state of pure consciousness. MMY GitaIIvs45 The Purusha is the soul of the Universe/s and a spark of that purusha is man..made in the 'image' of God. When man realizes himself (Self-Realization) he realizes 'his' purusha, when that expands and embraces the Universe he realizes 'God's' Purusha (God Realization, which is also his), beyond that is Brahman/Unity. > 2.

This is a very exciting phrase, if you got this from you notes, that's amazing as it suggests a state (perhaps the Buddhic plane) where the immanent God (GC) is transcendental to the three worlds, (Physical, astral and causal) yet still 'manifest', that would be the Purusha or MMY's personal God. I've never heard him state it this way.... > Namaste, > > Michael > > PARA - THE CENTER FOR REALIZATION > Michael Dean Goodman, Ph.D., D.D., Director > Boca Raton (Palm Beach County) Florida > 561-350-3930 * [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > Dedicated to removing the constrictions to the full flow of life - > whether they be physical, mental/emotional, or spiritual - and to > the unfoldment of peace, freedom, awareness, love, and ecstasy > > Spiritual guide (ashtanga yoga/meditation, tantra, vedanta, ayur veda) > Counselor * Life Coach * Speaker/Educator * Author > Private Sessions * Classes * Workshops & Retreats * Satsangs (Self-inquiry) > Clients and programs throughout the United States, Europe, and India > Working in person or by phone > Free initial consultation to discuss your needs and goals
