It means illusion, trick ,deceit,jugglery etc Kabir is very much near this meaning when he says,"Maya thou art a great trickster"<BR/>(माया महा ठगिनी हम जानी) <BR/>(b)maya as knowledge-which it is but not as explained by Vedantic philosophies where sankaracharya runs away from a charging elephant and when taunted explains his running also as Maya.It is knowledge because it tries to explain the laws of nature(प्रकृति)in a common man's language by using easy to understand a day to day term maya.I can assure you that this term is non- existent in Vedas.<BR/>The aim of this blog is to<BR/>strengthen the spirit of enquiry in the young minds of posterity particularly and the followers of conventions generally.The system of spoon feeding the genext must be stopped. They should be encouraged to question.<BR/>Now your second part of question. What makes me think that whatever i have written in my blog is not bluff? Please go to the last lines of my January posting FIRST BLUFF- SPIRITUALISM."Knowledge is not meant for exploitation while a bluff is". Bluff uses exploitation for acceptability or acceptability for exploitation. Do you think I will be acceptable by speaking against the set opinions of a phenomenally large majority? Rather I am looking for ones out of millions and you appear to be that one. So keep questioning.<BR/>(सिर्फ़ हंगामा खड़ा करना मेरा मकसद नहीं , मैं तो चाहता हूँ सूरते हाल बदले)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5541572646602852797.post-42442338715048298622009-02-09T04:11:00.000-08:002009-02-09T04:11:00.000-08:00For Aditya Rana-- Thanks Answers to your questions...For Aditya Rana-- Thanks <BR/>Answers to your questions<BR/>1)At organizational level thoughts exist in human mind at four levels (a)misorganized (b)mal-organized (c)well-organized (d)disorganized At(d)level they are useless as they cannot be put to any use,so they cannot lead to power.At (a) level the individual considers his organization to be the 'ultimate' and starts using it which gives him the false satisfaction of acquisition of power with its charms. I call it false because the individual himself to his dismay finds his once 'ultimate'to be unreliable and invalid when he confronts failure and he switches to another 'ultimate'. He then apologises to Galileo after three hundred years and the earth becomes round from flat. Fail he must because each time his 'ultimates' are now decided by the charms of some imaginary false sense of power which is capable of doling out reward and punishment.This is actually bluffing oneself. In Vedic language this is called ignorance (अविद्या avidya)At institutional level of say State or Clergy, since it is comprised of individuals only in its organs or agencies,a lip service is resorted to either by apologising or by leaving the general public bewildered and aghast at the results of 'ultimates' of Lehman, Citygroup,Satyam etc due to some other 'ultimates' of recession or inflation.It has been happening in all the fields of human activity be it social, political, administrative, education, law, industry etc. We are hopping from one ultimate to another ultimate i.e. from one bluff to another bluff. Knowing this human nature of misorganization many of us then resort to (b)level of mal-organization with ulterior selfish motives with a view to gaining power at fast speed,of course a wild goose chase! This answers in part your first question wherein misorganization and mal-organization lead human beings to a false and temporary sense of acquisition of power.<BR/>2)Is it possible to acquire real and permanent power? Or can we be sure that we will evolve from a bluffing stage to a non-bluffing stage? Both the questions have the same purport. Yes it is possible and this is the subject matter of the discipline of YOG as discussed in the VEDAS and elucidated by Patanjali in his Yog Sutras. I'll be dealing with the methodology of 'How to Well Organize' the human thoughts that they lead to real power in details in my posting of THIRD BLUFF-YOGA in the month of March 2009. Please bear with me till then.all the bluff-call the bluffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05238502474633325685noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5541572646602852797.post-24561518077827363722009-02-08T05:00:00.000-08:002009-02-08T05:00:00.000-08:00Please accept my humble obesiences....What is Maya...Please accept my humble obesiences....<BR/><BR/>What is Maya?<BR/>Why is it there?<BR/>What is the purpose of Maya?<BR/><BR/>What makes you think that what you have written in your blog is not Bluff?<BR/><BR/>Waiting for your earnest reply....lahsiv inoshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13138184022916419977noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5541572646602852797.post-3375260906685659022009-02-08T04:31:00.000-08:002009-02-08T04:31:00.000-08:00nteresting thought!Can you please answer following...nteresting thought!<BR/><BR/>Can you please answer following questions.<BR/><BR/>1) How does organization lead to power?<BR/><BR/>2) How can we be sure that we will evolve from bluffing stage to a non-bluffing stage?Aditya Ranahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03888966309542782368noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5541572646602852797.post-49343783566620155762009-02-07T09:46:00.000-08:002009-02-07T09:46:00.000-08:00This comment has been removed by the author.Aditya Ranahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03888966309542782368noreply@blogger.com
