A gentleman asked-Ma,
from where does maya emerge?
Ma laughingly replied
-Pitaji, to understand from where maya emerges, while one is right in the midst of it, is difficult. Try to realize Him; or, if you have no faith in Him, try to realize your Self.
To know your Self means to know Him, and to find one’s Self, to find Him.
When you have found your Self, all your problems will be solved.
Q-What is the means to Self-knowledge or Self-realization?
Ma-Endeavour to follow the path that the Guru indicates. Don’t sit idle!
If you have not found a Guru, try to sustain the constant flow of any one God’s names that appeals to you most. Don’t spend your time just eating, sleeping, and living a humdrum life. Having received the priceless boon of a human birth, do not waste it by keeping your mind occupied with petty thoughts and worries. Rather than remaining in a dharamshala, try to reach your own real home, Pitaji!
