The Illusive Reality

     One who knows that he knows not, but claims he knows – is a liar. One who knows little bit but thinks he knows – is ignorant. One who knows not and knows and accepts that he knows not – is sincere. One who knows partially and knows that he knows not – is a learner. But none can know it because it is impossible to know it. This is what, is the maya – the ‘grand illusion’ of our perception of the gigantic creation of God.

     One who knows that he knows and also knows that he does not – is wise. He does not say it despite knowing a lot. Because he knows a lot and therefore knows that nothing could be said or discussed about it. One who knows that it is undecipherable infinity and immerses and ‘illusion’ of self-identity into devotion of the Omniscient – is enlightened…

     His existence is unified with the devotion and love of god. He has realized the absolute void in the infinity (of maya – the illusive creation) and the infinity (of God) in the void (sublime). What doubts or queries he would have? Nothing! What he would know and about what? Nothing! He says nothing. What he would say and to whom? He knows God and knows that God alone knows his maya.
