If there is a way!

Der Man Immer Findet Einen Weg!!

Notes to Myself .

--------------------------

"Ich bin nicht Der Erste!

-Sagt Das Buch."

This much I Learned,

This much I could recall, 

What remains in the memory. 

Not sure whether grammatically it's correct or not. 

Some forty years ago, 

I had joined :

Learning German Course.

So long, I had been trying, 

To find out a way, 

To rescue myself,

From the intellectual labyrinth,

That I was caught intoband shrouded in.

Then Studying The Gita,

Understood and grasped, 

The following striking verses -

Including the words :

स्वभावस्तु प्रवर्तते।। 

And, 

प्रकृतेर्गुणसम्मूढा।। 

प्रकृतिजैर्गुणैः।।

प्रकृतेर्ज्ञानवानपि।। 

प्रकृतेः क्रियमाणानि गुणैः कर्माणि सर्वशः।।

And all my doubts were ultimately dissolved for good.

प्रकृति / Prakriti  itself has two aspects :

The latent, and the manifest.

Prakriti as the above two aspects is itself therefore the mAyA / माया as is described in the following verse :

दैवी ह्येषा गुणमयी मम माया दुरत्यया।।

मामेव ये प्रपद्यन्ते मायामेतां तरन्ति ते।।

This very Prakriti / प्रकृति having these three  attributes is verily the power that creates, maintains and subsequently dissolves the world of the self.

The self is again the manifest Prakriti as the individual existence, consciousness and life.

This Prakriti, again as the Unique Mother Principle, manifests itself through myriad countless forms and plays the role of "mAyA".

In the manifest form of the self it's power acts  revealed and known in the three forms viz. :

इच्छाशक्ति, क्रियाशक्ति, and ज्ञानशक्ति 

ichchhAshakti, kriyAshakti JnAnashakti respectively.

These three in association with the

प्रमाद (तमोगुण), चेष्टा (रजोगुण) and बुद्धि (सतोगुण) are manifest in the self in the form of :

Ignorance / inertia, Activity and Knowledge / information / memory.

Life itself as such plays everywhere and in all material things and all living (conscious) beings.

Life exists and is revealed ever so to itself in the way of repeated appearances and disappearance.

Life itself is verily the God Supreme, the Lord Alone, without the 'other'.

This Life, The Reality, The Only Truth is truly the proverbial Pathless land.
