Divinity is a Play and Divine the Way
aspect has been dealt at length in the Isa Upanishad where it is told that everything belongs to the Divine and we should learn to renounce and enjoy rather than possess and enjoy. Instead of understanding the omni pervasiveness of the Divine, we tend to cling on to the objects of the world though we very well know that we do not carry anything when we depart this body. However this knowledge is no child’s play as that is play of Divine or Maya. Master refers to this aspect of Maya in Dawn of Reality,
“It (Maya) is really a Godly power which has brought into existence the entire creation in its different forms and shapes and which regulates its entire working. We are all the while surrounded by this great power and its effect is visible in all phases of our activity. We are whirling round within the glossy sphere of Maya, clinging at times to one or the other of the objects in view thinking it to be Reality. (Dawn of Reality 99)
We require the help of Divinity itself to get to know its play. It is the way. Since it is difficult to get help from Divinity directly, we require the help of Guru who has established his link with Divinity. This was also stated very clearly by Lord Krishna in Bhagavad Gita as: “... Mama Maya Duratyaya..” [This divine energy of Mine, consisting of the three modes of material nature, is difficult to overcome. But those who have surrendered unto Me can easily cross beyond it. ( B.G Chap 7.14)] It is He, who is beyond this Maya can enable others to cross it. Lord Krishna talks of surrender whereas Babuji Maharaj has graciously given us the gift of Pranahuti by which we are given a dip into the non personal aspect of our Consciousness where we understand that our life is not bounded by this physical body and it is something beyond also. All the practicants of PAM know very well the importance of Yielding and submission to the process
