What is the source of delusion in us and how can we overcome it?

God is Sarvabhoota antaratma - the Indweller in all beings, but there is no change in the Atma. Human lives will continue to be generated like the waves of the ocean. But the ocean of Cosmic Consciousness remains unchanged. 

When you make an idol of Krishna in silver, all parts of the idol are silver. When you see the form of Krishna in the idol, you are not aware of the silver. When you want to see only the silver out of which the idol is made, the form is out of your view. 

Similarly, when you turn your mind towards God, who is pervading the entire Universe, the mind will be wholly filled with God and you won't see the different forms of the objects in the world. If the mind is directed towards worldly objects, you fail to see the Divinity that pervades all objects. 

Vishvam Vishnu Svarupam - The Universe is the form of God. God is the cause and the Universe is the effect. Failure to understand the cause and the effect results in delusion.

Bagavan Sri Sri Sri Sathya Sai Baba
