The Veil of a
Big Outside God
THE GODS MUST BE CRAZY
This “veil” or illusion illustrates one of the most interest
ing concepts conceivable. It is that, from “another” place,
location or existence, sits God or masters, the ultimate
master being Lord Siva himself, which, anthropomorphically,
is pictured as a person.
And, it is from this “other” world or meditation that this
world appears out of nothing. But how could this be? For
example, when we sleep, a dream world with dream characters
arise, out of NOTHING.
In the same way, this world arises.
“Apperceiving” this, people and things appear as a piece of
flat, one-dimensional “cardboard” floating in NOTHING.
One day, while “I” was awakening, an image of Shirdhi
Sai Baba appeared.
Out of the “infinite” beyond, NOTHINGNESS, came
Shirdi Sai Baba. He was holding a particle of sand in his
hand. This particle was the physical universe.
Now, as “I” sit and write, it is like the pure “infinite”
NOTHINGNESS has shrunken down, and my eyes, see
through this limited lens, and then, “I” AM.
