THE ILLUSION OF MAYA
– Guru Arjun Dev ji

In Spiritual world, everything but the name of God is worthless. The Maya (5 evils) that we chase is actually robbing us. We are usually chasing material objects (and money), women (or men) with nice physical body/beauty, but we don’t realize we leave these things behind when we die. Due to lust we do activities to fulfill that desire but we are unconscious at Spiritual level. We build a house of Matches and lighting fire under it – our desires are destructive fire that destroys us. Our ego of self due to our belongings doesn’t get us anywhere.

We are blind fools, these 5-evils are destroying us and insulting us but we don’t see them because we are blinded by our desires and greed. Just like birds are trapped by putting bird food on a net, we are getting trapped by Maya and we don’t see the trap. To get out of Maya’s trap, I am embedding God’s name in my heart (by doing Naam-Simran).
