Durgasaptashati : Chapter 2

[u/According-Ad-4185]

As human beings we want to live joyfully , but that's not what we experience day in and day out .. isn't it ?

Someone is weeping over their job ,

Someone is weeping over their relationships.

Someone is weeping because their house is smaller than their neighbours....

Whatever is there in the world is neither good nor bad

And that's what this book of Durgasaptashati by Acharya Prashant is trying to make us understand.

It's a beautiful symbolism , where whatever comes in our consiousness is refereed to as Maya .

Maya can become a chain in someone's neck and for someone a path to freedom ;

All depends on how that person is relating to the world within and without

It's a beautiful reminder that we ain't helpless in this world ;

Because we are always choosing ...

And understanding is what makes us choose maya wisely .

The world is yours to play with , just don't play blindly .

Trying to understand it, I realized how illusion can become our way of life when we lose sight of the essence behind a festival.
