Isolating the Truth in Creation.

asthambha bhuvan paryantam sarva maya mayan jagat, satyam satyam punah satyam Ekachakra dhyan anandam, satyam satyam punah satyam Ekachakra dhyan anandam.

‘asthambha’, ‘asthambha’ means from the lowest piece of grass. ‘bhuvan paryantam’: upto the brahma loka, the topmost planet in this universe, this whole cosmos is filled with maya or illusion. Why? Because it is temporary. It will all be destroyed after three hundred and eleven trillion years. This is hundred years of bramha and just one breath of Maha-Vishnu. You see the lowest is a piece of grass, in the material world, nobody wants to even look at the grass and that grass is the highest in the spiritual world.

The touch of that grass in Ekachakra dhyan can give one’s spiritual form. So, this whole world is illusion. Don't try to find the truth here. “asthambha bhuvan paryantam sarva maya mayan jagat”. ‘sarva maya mayan jagat’: everywhere is illusion, kalyuga is more illusion. Even the Heavenly planets are illusion because they create an illusion of being happy but when where we are, it is not permanent. When we fall down from heavenly planets, we fall down miserably.

It is the most painful because for one who has enjoyed, suffering is worse than death, and the suffering in the mrityu loka, in the middle planetary systems like the earth, oh! you all know that “padam padam yad vipadam na tesam”, every day if you can live then it is a miracle and ultimately the lower planets, oh! It’s full of suffering atal, vital, sutal, tala, talatal, rasatal, malatal, everything. So, as you go down and down, the suffering increases exponentially, infinitely.

In fact, the time is so slow there. So, one has to, like ahhh! Even Hundered thousand years of suffering there will be just one minute on this earth. So, you can suffer unlimitedly there. So, the whole world is like maya you know, ‘sarva maya mayam jagat’. So, what is the truth? Remembering Ekachakra that is the only truth. That is our anchor, that is our rocket, our boat, our ship to cross this ocean of suffering ‘dukhalayam asashvatam’.

Why it is maya? Why it is misery? Because it is asashvatam, temporary, and how do we cross that? 'satyam satyam punah satyam, Ekachakra dhyan anandam, Ekachakra dhyan anandam. The Ananda, the bliss of Ekachakra dhyan is infinite, still it is increasing at every moment. Just meditate, dhyan means meditation on Ekachakra in the topmost spiritual planet of Goloka Vrindavan. Ekachakra is inviting you, Ekachakra is waiting for you with open arms. Just become wrapped in his embrace. “satyam satyam punah satyam, Ekachakra dhyan anandam”.
