All the things that we see in the universe are nothing but a play of

Maya1

-- the creative power of the Lord. These things do not really exist. What really exists is the Real Absolute. Just as we mistake a rope of

a garland or a stick for a serpent on account of darkness, we always see

the phenomena, i.e. things as they outwardly appear, and not the

Noumenon which underlies all the visible things. It is only the Sad-guru

that opens the eyes of our understanding and enables us to see things in

their true light and not as they appear. Let us, therefore, worship the

Sad-guru and pray to him to give us the true vision, which is nothing but

God-vision.
