Maya as the illusion created by nature.

Nature fools you into believing the ephemeral to be permanent, and the eternal to be transient-that's Maya.

~ Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankarji

Yoga and Meditation

 A profound and insightful quote!

Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankarji's words highlight the concept of Maya, or illusion, which is a fundamental idea in Eastern spirituality. He points out that:

1. Nature creates an illusion (Maya) that makes us believe:

    - The ephemeral (temporary) is permanent.

    - The eternal (permanent) is transient (temporary).

This quote encourages us to:

1. Look beyond the surface level and recognize the impermanence of things.

2. Understand that what appears permanent is actually fleeting.

3. Discover the eternal essence that lies beyond the transient world.

By recognizing Maya, we can:

1. Cultivate a deeper understanding of reality.

2. Develop a sense of detachment and non-attachment.

3. Focus on the eternal and timeless aspects of life.

May you find wisdom in Gurudev's words and may your understanding of Maya guide you on your spiritual journey!

- "The ephemeral to be permanent": This points out our tendency to think temporary things are permanent.

- "And the eternal to be transient": This emphasizes our misconception that permanent things are temporary.

- "That's Maya": This concludes the quote by defining Maya as the illusion created by nature.
