THE WORLD PLAY IN TWO ACTS

 

THE WORLD PLAY IN TWO ACTS

When Mahadevi creates the world with the vision of Mahadev, alongside Oceans and mountains and wonderous landscapes , jiva is also born. This jiva, who is full of mala ( A hypnotic dirt created by Mahadevi's maya, which makes him forget his own source) , starts 'experiencing' every aspect of life , ( bhoga), and there is a lot of enjoyment , but eventually, the world as he knows it, stalls.

The world as he knows it, stalls, and he falls ,like arjuna at the battlefield. He starts looking for new meaning, he starts looking for a

higher power, greater purpose, he starts looking for God.

And krishna the friend becomes Krishna the teacher.

saying ' when the world as you have known it, falters

and nothing seems right, then O friend , i manifest , like the phoenix , to give you flight'
