    You left home with a beautiful umbrella, an umbrella with golden handle. Heat and rain falling from the sky (bad experiences in life) forced you to open it. Since then, you are tightly holding it, searching for the path to reach back home. Open your fist. The map is printed on the golden handle of your umbrella.

    If you desire to drink water, the Space-Time (Maya) says, “Walk these many steps and reach the fridge. Take out the water bottle and drink.”By fulfilling these small desires without any trick, Maya proves that she is fair. When you try to fulfill bigger desires, she tricks you and traps you. Then you can’t even blame her because she has already proved herself as fair. Then you blame yourself and fall deeper into the mess.

    Outward spiritual pursuit” - This is an oxymoron but these days I see a lot of young men and women on “Outward spiritual pursuit”. Your mind can create an exact replica of everything your soul has to offer. It can make you feel like you are on spiritual path. But mind’s replica of solitude is depression. Mind’s replica of No-thingness (non-existence) is Nothing-ness (pessimistic outlook). Mind’s replica of Samadhi is suicide.

    If circumstances make you lift your feet off the floor, don’t start crawling on the ceiling. This is the nature of Maya (Space-Time). The ceiling becomes the new floor. The high becomes the new low. Fly in the nothingness (Shunya) within which everything including the floor and the ceiling exists!

    Look at the things around you. Their visual is reaching to your eyes through light. Then your mind processes those visuals. It takes time for those visuals to reach you and get processed in mind. Even though that time is very small... say, a tiny fraction of second. Even the sensation of something happening in your own body takes time before it reaches you as an experience.Technically, whatever you are watching or feeling happened in the past (a fraction of second ago).

    The knowledge that the world has given you is nothing but a set of robotic commands. It has turned you into robot: What is it? Milk. What to do with it? Bring it from the shop, boil it and drink.What is it? Tree. What to do with it? Just ignore it. It is there to keep your oxygen levels normal.And so on. It has made you into robot. It has given you an illusion of freewill and choice.
