WORDS OF SRI ANANDAMAYI MA-9

In other words, death will die.

Now that you are advancing towards that which is beyond time, the semblance of happiness brought about by mundane things is being consumed.

As a result, the question - " What actually is this world?" will arise.

Some say, by sustained effort one may attain to Enlightenment. But is it true that effort can bring about Enlightenment? Is Illumination dependant on action? The veil is destroyed, and when this has been accomplished, THAT which IS stands revealed. What is known as the fruit of effort is nothing but the illumination or the particular aspect towards which the effort has been directed.

Unveiled light ( niravaran prakasa ) is He Himself, the Eternal.- The Guru knows which is the right line of approach for any individual.
