drawrof Posted December 20, 2005 Report Share Posted December 20, 2005 This next piece defines maya in a sikh context… Maya has no positive existence in sikh thought….similar to ignorance. Just like ignorance is the lack of knowledge. Maya is a way of saying “ the individual consciousness perceives the reality on in the forms of partial knowledgeâ€. “what is there positive to which we can give the name of maya? What positive activity is this maya capable of? The human souls is the subject to pleasure and pain in its very nature as long as it operates on the individuated plan of conciousnessâ€. http://www.srigranth.org/servlet/gurbani.g...amp;p=0&k=0 This re-interpretation of the concept of maya, the guru’s bring forth a reality, a sense of urgency and an objectivity to the whole frame of mind, which is necessary for all the all-out effort to speed up the evolutionary process through the human will, and this is the core of the precepts of Sikhism, as a way of life. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
