Delusion is Extremely Difficult to Understand

All investigations associated with the mind are delusions of various sorts. They are subjective. All that people do - seeing, hearing, experiencing and doing, are all mental delusions caused by association with the body. The mind cannot keep still even for a moment, without thinking about something or the other. Hence the mind is dependent on the body. All that the mind experiences, relates to the world that is made of the five elements. The mind sees the world through the eyes, hears through the ears. The mind has no form of its own; it is Maya (delusion). It is desire. It is Nature. It is ignorance (Avidya). Delusion is its very nature. It is extremely difficult to understand the pure and immutable Divine Soul (Atma) through an instrument subject to delusions.

Baba (thought for the day)

 

I guess you think there is no need to question it, because he calls it delusions of various sorts and that it is all in association with the body only, that seems clear doesn't it, if it is just delusion, why do we even think about it?

But his Lila is different and it doesn't tell us, don't think about it. He was in meditation and said, think about it. He said 'engaged' and he didn't tell there is no use to think about it, because it is all mind only. It is a different level of our consciousness and to tell that we are he and that we or 'us' is 'He', is again a different level of consciousness and afterwards he is in the dream not as 'us' or as 'he', he is in the inner view as 'I' and do you think that is easy to understand?

First, why 'us', where are you that he tells us?
You don't even care, so what about 'us', do I care about 'us'?
But he does want us to get aware of it. It is all subjective, yes it is pure subjectivity, but it is still about us or 'we' and he tells in the inner view 'I'.  

The mind cannot keep still and it depends the body and we go through the up and downs of the body. But we need to inquire to make the difference between 'us' and 'He' and 'I'.
The question is finally, 'who am I?'

If he tells in the insight 'I' - the question is, 'who am I'?
Is it 'I', but my I thinks I am the body and that what all others think that is the mind and the question is who I really am ...? 

The mind is dependent on the body and the body is the instrument, if we like it or not, we have to live with it and it is made of the five elements and the mind experiences the world through the senses and that is sense knowledge.

The mind is the result of it and it is all Maya, illusion.

Until now it seems easy to understand and is it easy?
Do you know Maya, illusion? If the answer is yes, you know what is reality as opposed to illusion?

It is ignorance, everything we live in the mind and the body is ignorance, do you still think it is easy?
Do you think there is nothing to think about it and we just can go on like that and we know everything?
That is not a right conclusion, it is the opposite. He tells us not to 'not think' about it, he tells it is the mind, but it has to be realized.

It is ignorance to think we know, because if you read it carefully, you will realize it is just the opposite.
We do not experience the mind as ignorance, but we feel it is real, therefore, we don't inquire, we think it is easy and we do not need to think about it or to question it. But it is the opposite, if it is ignorance and not real and we think it is real and not ignorance, it is upside down. Why is it like that?

 

Delusion is its very nature. It is extremely difficult to understand the pure and immutable Divine Soul (Atma) through an instrument subject to delusions.

 

Do you still think it is easy? Did you read the conclusion?

Does it confirm that it is easy or does he tell us that it is extremely difficult to understand?

He tells us that it is extremely difficult to understand.

If we get to the conclusion that it is easy, we are usually wrong and not right, because we do not get it, we just adapt the teaching to our own life stile and standard and whatever is pleasing to us.
