Why can't I see god ? Many times, I wonder why can't I visualise the divine, when that is everywhere .why?? Vedas proclaim the supreme self is omnipresent, omni potent .
" Paramam yo mahattejaha Paramam yomahattapaha
Paramam yo mahadbrahma param yah parayanam "
God
" Sarvamavrutta thishtathi" ( enveloped entire universe)
Then what prevents me to see that great lord ?
"Tribhirgunamayay bhavairebhihi sarvamidham Jagath
Mohitham nabhijanathi mamebhyaha paramavyayam "
'Gita' gave me the clue that there exists one divine veil surrounding us. That is called 'yoga maya' , which is constituted by 'thrigunas' ( Satva,Rajas, Thamas) generates in human being / living beings the feeling of attachment . Feeling attached to anything is called 'Moha' . Maya creates 'moha' which is very difficult to surmount . But , at the same time gita suggests a way in which one can escape from moha maya and realise The Lord .
" yo mam pasyathi sarvataha sarvacha mayi pasyatti "
Those who continuously contemplate on the supreme self leaving the attachments can realise him . Dhyana or meditation is the only best way to experience the supreme self .
"Those who worship the absolute with absolute faith are in ME and i am in them " says Lord Krishna .
Annamacharya, the great saint and composer of 15th century ( 1424 - 1503 ) sang a song on 'Maya' in Telugu in which he said , moha maya is as ancient as the supreme spirit i.e as ancient as the universe .
" Anadi jagamulu Anadi devudu
Vinodamulugani visugadu maya "
This unexhausting divine illusion is as ancient as divine and enjoys the entertainment of srusti,sthiti and laya .
" Aavruttaha gnanamethena gnanino nithya vairina
Kamaroopena kantheya dhushwarenanalenacha "
Lord Krishna says, O ! Kounteya ! Supreme divine , i.e Supreme knowledge is covered by the eternal enemy of the wise in the form of desire leading to attachments , which is like insatiable fire .once gain maya is the prime cause for raking up desires .
Ultimately, one has to control senses at the very outset ,kill the 'mohabhava' on enjoyments , kill the sinful thing 'desire' which destroys the knowledge and realisation . One has to fix the mind on the divine alone , let the intellect rest in that .no doubt, one can break the divine illusion 'maya' and experience the supreme divine 'the mahattejaha' .
'Naham prakashayaha sarvasya yoga maya samavruthaha
Moodoyam nabhi janaathi mamebhyaha Paramam avyayam'
Ignorant folk fail to recognise (perceive) the imperishable supreme self because of the yoga maya surrounding them .
The Lord of all beings manifests only before those yogis whose gyana chakshu ( eye of knowledge) opened , because of that continuous devotion , worship , meditation and mind orientation towards the divine .
