Darkness of Illusion

Me : I have had it ! I quit ! Damn this maya ! 

Voice : You damning Me ?  

Me : How am I damning you ?? 

Voice : Maya is My shadow. The closer you come to Me, wouldn't also My shadow get closer to you ? How can you separate this experience ? 

Me : Inevitable as I am drawn closer to you ? I thought it was contrary. 

Voice : Most people think so. 

Me : The force of illusion feels intense !    

Voice : Because you are close to Me. 

Me : I can't handle the darkness.

Voice : Aren't shadows always dark ?

Me : Sigh..

Voice :  Anyone can play in light. But, the darkness strengthens you to transcend one's own self. Maya is not your enemy. 

I will tell you something that you may have not heard before….the world tells you I am the Redeemer, but it is maya who will redeem mankind.  

Me : What ?

Voice : The force of Illusion is My vehicle to liberate your own self. You navigate illusion to come to Light. I am only an armour. You dress yourself with Me to unravel your life or choose to go unarmed. The choice is yours. But the battle is inevitable. And it's best fought by being in the world.    

Me : Like using the falseness to find the Truth ? My fear is losing sight of you ! 

Voice : Fear will be your greatest impulse for growth. I see courage in your heart. Continue to be where you are placed. It's My place for you at the moment.    

You will soak, gasp and choke for breath. You will feel you are drowning, but you will never sink. I am the Light in you that can never dim. 

Me : I feel, see and sense things that only make me more withdrawn. 

Voice : That is your predicament. In time it will be your strength, not weakness. 

Know that you can only remember Me, only if you forget. You are drawn to light, because you feel the darkness. You can only know true freedom from the experience of bondage.

Me : Wow  

Voice : Remember, as long as you are in duality, there will always remain the way to restore balance through the opposite. 

 

Me : Opposite ?? That sounds like a big problem. 

Voice : Imbalance may be a bigger problem. Bring your awareness to the ways of duality. 

One day, you will see darkness guiding you to light and not the other way around.

You will be prepared for what is coming.

Me : Scary. But incredibly profound.  

 

Voice : Next time you enjoy being under the shade of a tree - be aware that you are enjoying it's 'dark shadow'.
