knowledge. When we wander and cut ourselves off from pure knowledge, we then fall under the yoke of illusory energy (maya or Satan), which makes us incapable of understanding God, the Supreme Person. The illusory energy manifests in the duality of desire and aversion. It is indeed this duality which pushes the ignorant to identify with the Supreme Lord, to envy the absolute divinity of God. The pure wise, who are not defiled, or deluded, neither by desire nor by aversion, can understand that the Lord appears by his internal power.

Those who lose duality and ignorance continue to believe that God, the Supreme Person, is a creation of material energies. This is their misfortune. And, mark of their blindness, they endlessly go through fire, dualities, honor and dishonor, happiness and unhappiness, male and female, good and bad, joys and sorrows, right and wrong, and so on thinking every time : “I am” the husband of this woman; “I am” the owner of this house; here is “my” wife; here is “my” house; here is “my” happiness. Thus act the illusory dualities; those whom they seduce lose their heads and become incapable of understanding God, the Supreme Person.

Likewise, the wonderful cosmic manifestations exist by the supreme will of the Lord, and all are subordinate to this supreme will. No blade of grass moves without the will of God, it is commonly said. Thus, by its sole will, everything moves, everything is created, supported and destroyed. However, He is beyond all of his creation, He remains independent of it, as space remains independent of the movements of the atmosphere.

It is out of fear of the Supreme Lord that the wind blows. The moon, the sun and the other planets move under the supreme direction of God, in response to his
