This Divine illusion of Mine, made up of the three Gunas is difficult

to cross over; those who take refuge in Me alone, come to cross.

Tthe Gita

Smt. Hansaji J. Yogendra

Only the ones who can cross over the illusion in nature can really understand

the truth or reality. Otherwise we get easily carried away, like a mirage in a desert.

We see water shining far away and we rush. But when we reach there, we find

no water, only sand. Like that we are drawn all our life by what apparently looks

pleasant, attractive and good; but none of these are real. And so a whole life

time gets wasted. The only way to overcome these illusions is to stick to God. The

traveller in a desert who knows his way is not misled by the shine of water. So, the

wise one, on seeing little pleasures, little show, does not go after it. We have to

have full faith in God and follow his ways. Total and complete surrender to God is

the only way out of the Maya or illusion.
