Verse 95Nonduality

Seeing Through Māyā's Divisions

Bhairava

This verse says that the feeling of being cut off into separate pieces is part of illusion. If you can see the mind making those divisions, they lose some of their power. Then you remain more whole and less fragmented.

माया विमोवहनी नाम कलाया् कलनं वस्थतम् । इत्यावदधमं तत्त्वानां कलयन्न पृथग्भवेत् ॥ ९५ ॥

māyā vimohinī nāma kalāyāḥ kalanaṃ sthitam | ityādyaṃ tattvānāṃ kalayan na pṛthag bhavet || 95 ||

Translation

Māyā, the deluder, is said to consist in the delimitation of kala; thus, while discerning the principles beginning with kala, one does not become separate.

Recognize that apparent divisions are māyā's construction and do not take them as truly separate.
