6. THE STORY OF UDDALAKA
Summary: Having shown in the previous story that
if Brahman, which enables one to visit personally
Maya of the nature of mind, be visited, then all
ideas of the universe vanish, the author narrates
the present story to illustrate that this degreeless
bliss arises through Samadhi consequent upon
Atmic enquiry.
Thus you will find that Maya pervades
everywhere, hard to be mastered; and generating-
different degrees of illusions high and low, has as
its substratum Parabrahman. Therefore I have to
declare to you that whoever is not ever in the
Brahmic Reality, will be drowned by the Gunas 88 of
Maya into pains which are ever seething like the
billows of an ocean.
I solemnly affirm that the fell disease can be
removed only through the divine panacea of the
mind-mastery and not through any other means.
88 The three Gunas of Maya, being Satwa, Rajas and Tamas.
