The funny thing about "Maya"


I tripped over something last night

For sure it was no illusion

And it's still so hard to see, even now, in broad daylight

All clouded over ... by my perception

[QUOTE:]
Why Maya was created?

Questions like this are completely useless to a seeker

Maya was not created? it just is...

There was never a moment in time when there was a creation of separation.

Rather it is that Maya is the absolute. As such it is also beyond time.

The reality is that nothing has been created ever. It cannot have been because there never was an actual moment in time for creation to occur. We can say from our perspective there appears to be time and it appears to be moving forward, but that is a perception not a statement of truth. Maya exists because it is the absolute. As such, there is no reason for its existence. There is no reason for Maya. Rather it just is...

One way to conceptualize it then is to imagine everything that has ever happened, everything that ever will happen and everything that is happening right now. Imagine then that there was a being and that all these things were part of the being. Everything constitutes that being. Both in form and as the formless. To us it may seem like there are countless different human beings, trees, objects stars etc, but from the vantage point of the absolute, these are all it. Further, there is no us to be differentiating between things, from ultimate reality.

Now you may wonder why didn’t the Absolute give everyone awareness of this fact? But you’re missing it, there is no everyone, there is only the absolute and essentially that is the illusion. All that happens when enlightenment occurs is that someone trips over this fact, usually by pounding their head against a brick wall for long stretches of time and then wonders how they could possibly have missed something so obvious.
