4. THE REASONS FOR IGNORANCE
• FORM AND NAME ARE PROVIDED ONLY TO THE BODY,
BY NATURE AND BY PARENTS, RESPECTIVELY.
• BUT EGO IDENTIFIES ITSELF WITH THE FORM AND
NAME, WHICH IS DUE TO NATURAL MAYA.
• IN ITS NORMAL COURSE OF LIFE, THE EGO DOES NOT
PUT EFFORTS TO UNDERSTAND ITS TRUE NATURE.
• THIS IS DUE TO MENTAL CONDITIONING, WHICH IS
DUE TO SOCIAL MAYA.

5. God created Maya with a divine purpose.
Man started Maya with a mundane purpose.
God’s Maya is the love towards people
(emotions: children, parents, relatives).
Man’s Maya is the love towards things
(thoughts: wealth, status, power).

The self is present

desires sees this
self, by the calming
of essences, and
becomes free
from grief.
