2 OVERCOMING THE MYTH

Why is it that we human beings live and die with the myth? Why is it that we cannot overcome the cosmic illusion of Maya? Because we live as the ego that thinks it is 'me', and consider ourselves to be the mind that wanders, we live and die as the human body that suffers. The way to overcome all suffering is SatChitAnanda.

Realization of the Truth is a tricky subject. First, we must acquire the knowledge, then we must be Enlightened. But that is not the end of the game. It is only the beginning. Unless we become conscious of the myth, we will let the Truth be overshadowed by it. Even after realizing the Truth, the realized Soul must be conscious of Maya. It doesn't stop projecting the illusion. If one wants to reach the state of SatChitAnanda, one has to be in that state of Chit, or Consciousness. Otherwise, they too will suffer due to Maya. We see people as people, but we don't see Sat, the Truth with our 'real' eyes. The Truth is that these are Divine beings that are embodied in different bodies. They may be embodied as humans, animals, birds, insects, fish, or even plants and trees. What a normal person sees is the myth, the cosmic illusion, what 'appears' to be. The Truth is that all these are the Divine that manifest as effects. The cause is the Divine, the very cause of our Ananda. Unless we are conscious of the Divine within us, and in everybody around us, we cannot experience SatChitAnanda. For this, we must overcome the myth, the cosmic illusion of Maya.
