I have translated a short passage of the \u015ar\u012b Gorakh G\u012bt\u0101<\/em> from Hindi. Look how clearly Gorak\u015ban\u0101th<\/em> explains the nature of m\u0101y\u0101<\/em>, which affects everyone in their own way. How the principle of phenomenality gives rise to obscurations through attachments. The main thing here is to understand the essence of all these examples; you could give many more similar ones yourself. Obviously, for personal transformation you have to think about what is conditioning you personally in this regard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My Guru tells me about three types of M\u0101y\u0101.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u092a\u0924\u093e \u0928\u0939\u0940\u0902 \u0917\u0941\u0930\u0941 \u0915\u0939\u093e\u0901 \u091a\u0932\u093e \u0917\u092f\u093e\u0964
I don’t know where Guru went.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u0909\u0938\u0915\u0947 \u092c\u093f\u0928\u093e \u092e\u0941\u091d\u0947 \u0928\u0940\u0902\u0926 \u092d\u0940 \u0928\u0939\u0940\u0902 \u0906\u0924\u0940\u0964
I can’t even sleep without it (without blessing).<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This attachment to M\u0101y\u0101 is like a pot in the potter’s house.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the herdsman’s house it is in the form of a camel and in the brahmin’s house it is in the form of a woman.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The pot, camel and woman all three are attachment.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the king’s (k\u1e63atriya) house, spears are a form of M\u0101y\u0101.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The fruit of the Bilva tree in the forest is a form of attachment.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u0924\u0947\u0932\u0940 \u0915\u0947 \u0918\u0930 \u0924\u0947\u0932 \u0915\u0947 \u0930\u0942\u092a \u092e\u0947\u0902 \u092e\u093e\u092f\u093e \u0935\u093f\u0926\u094d\u092f\u092e\u093e\u0928 \u0939\u0948\u0964
M\u0101y\u0101 exists in the form of butter in the house of a buttermaker.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u0907\u0938 \u092a\u094d\u0930\u0915\u093e\u0930 \u0924\u0947\u0932, \u092c\u0947\u0932 \u0914\u0930 \u0938\u0947\u0932 \u092e\u093e\u092f\u093e \u0915\u0947 \u092e\u094b\u0939 \u092e\u0947\u0902 \u092c\u093e\u0901\u0927\u0924\u0947 \u0939\u0948\u0902\u0964<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this way, butter, bilva fruits and spears bind one in the illusion of M\u0101y\u0101.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The outsider (cow) in the house of the herdsman appears in the form of M\u0101y\u0101.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The m\u016brti in the temple is a form of M\u0101y\u0101 and the asafoetida in the shop is also a form of M\u0101y\u0101<\/em>.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thus asafoetida, li\u1e45gam and horn (of cows and bulls) are forms of M\u0101y\u0101.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u092e\u093e\u092f\u093e \u0915\u0947 \u090f\u0915\u092e\u093e\u0924\u094d\u0930 \u0938\u0942\u0924\u094d\u0930 \u0938\u0947 \u0909\u0928\u0915\u0947 \u0928\u093e\u0928\u093e \u0930\u0942\u092a \u092c\u0928\u0947 \u0939\u0948\u0902 \u0964
The various forms are created from the single thread of M\u0101y\u0101.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
