Illusion should be avoided if you want to be with God (Maya).
The hope that lies deep inside the depths of your heart and intellect is nothing more than a figment of your imagination. The Self is obscured by illusion. The Self is within, and Illusion has placed a veil over it. "Pure Consciousness" is all there is to Brahman. By nature, the human mind is extroverted and focuses objectively.
It is Brahman when the mind becomes desireless and stays that way.
However, don't think of the mind as Brahman. It is impossible to ponder about the Self if you are continuously thinking about the objects of your senses. The beginning of the eclipse occurs when attention is drawn away from the Self and onto things. That's the deception. That is the state of mind.
Brahman is the state of not thinking. The quality of naturalness is an indication of Brahman. There is no anxiety, passion, or desire there. Even if one's whole kingdom is lost, the mind does not feel anxious in this state of naturalness. When the mind's goal working is completed, the natural condition emerges, and one becomes stable in the Self.
The eclipse of the Self is ended when the stress and care about worldly life fades away.
The Illusion is therefore viewed as God's (Vishnu's) play, and it is only perceived as Him.
When the Illusion is viewed just as God's pastime, the mind becomes desirous and worry-free. The individual's illusion (Jiva) is still full of desires and needs.
The individual ego's desire even extends to expecting a drop of water in the mouth at the moment of death. Meanwhile, the Self, or Consciousness, is unconcerned with the body.
- What good is it for the Self to repeat a God's name or a Mantra at the time of death?
- This is the secret to a life without desires. How long do we have on this planet?
- One foot is buried, while the other, is it still on the ground?
- What is the point of having a family?
This is an indication of desirabilitylessness. A guy who is committed to worldly life, on the other hand, even though he may die tomorrow, goes about his daily activities as if his life span will be hundreds of years.
The guy without desire regards a hundred thousand years as though it were only a fraction of a second.
The attachment in the heart that seems as concern for all beings is really God's deceptive game, and it is nothing more than worldliness and concern. We should live for Paramatman, the Supreme Self, and devote our efforts to serving Paramatman.
