Thought for the Week

That freedom was your nature, and this Maya never bound you. Nature never has power over you. Like an unnerved youngster, you were imagining that it was throttling you, and the discharge from this dread is the objective: not exclusively to see it mentally however to see it, realize it, considerably more certainly than we see this world. At that point, we will realize that we are free. At that point, and afterward alone, will all troubles vanish, at that point will every one of the perplexities of heart be smoothed away, all slantedness made straight, at that point will vanish the hallucination of complexness and nature; and Maya, rather than being a shocking, sad dream, as it is presently, will end up excellent, and this world, rather than being a jailhouse, will turn into our play area; and even perils and challenges, even all sufferings, will progress toward becoming exalted and demonstrate to us their genuine nature, will demonstrate to us that behind everything, as the substance of everything, he is standing and that He is simply the one genuine.
