Chapter - 78– Sri Ramacharitha Manas – Uththara Kanda – Sage Kakabhusundi besieged by the Maya of Mayapathi

 

Sage Kakabhusundi speaks “Oh! Garuda, whenever I get close to the infant Rama, he gets highly thrilled watching me, and when I flutter away that would put him into tears, and when I approach the Lord to get hold of his feet, he hurriedly crawls back to his mother’s looking back at me several times. I was overcome with bewilderment to watch that Sacchidhanandha Swaroopa Paramathma Parmbhramam Lord Sri Hari who is bliss and wisdom personified as infant Rama performs all those childhood pastimes like any other ordinary child, that was the moment I was fallen victim to the Maya of Lord of Raghu, eventually, I had several doubts in my mind. The unconquerable Maya of that Lord did not put me into grief like any ordinary Jeeva drenched in worldly matters and attachment to possession, fame, wealth, richness, money, wife, children, relatives and companion, etc. Oh! Garuda, listen to me carefully, all the creatures of animate and inanimate are influenced by the Maya of Mayapathi, if all had the nature of attributeless Paramathma, there won’t be any difference between the Paramathma and Jeevathma. The formidable Maya of Mayapathi represents the Thrigunas/Sathvik, Rajasik, and Thamasik, controlled by Mayapathi, and the Jeeva is dependent on these Thrigunas, and the Paramathma is free from the Thrigunas/attributeless. The Jeeva is infinite, and the Paramathma is Yeka/one and only the beloved Lord of Goddess Sri Mahalakshmi. The infinite Jeeva created out of the Maya of Mayapathi, is an illusion/unreal,  and the delusion can be get rid of with the grace of that Supreme Lord Rama.”
