If only
the agony and toil now being experienced by you to
accumulate the symbols of wealth and power for keeping
yourself and your family in comfort, are directed towards
God, you can be infinitely happier. The veil of
maya (illusion), however, hides from you the face
of God which is shining from every being and thing around
you. Maya creates the universe and attracts the
mind with the vast paraphernalia of the objective world. It
is a narthaki, an enchantress who entices the
intelligence and traps the senses. This na-rtha-ki
can be subdued by ki-rtha-na (note the re-ordering
of the syllables). Kirthana is the concentrated
contemplation of the glory of God.
Bagavan Sri Sri Sri Sathya Sai Baba
