The moment I allowed this doubt to enter my mind, O king of the birds, Ýr¶ RŒma’s MŒyŒ (delusive power) took possession of me as directed by the Lord of the Raghus. That MŒyŒ, however, did not prove to be a source of trouble to me, nor did it throw me 1032 * ÝR” RMACARITAMNASA* into the whirlpool of birth and death as it does in the case of other creatures. This, my lord, was attributable to some extraordinary reason. Hear it attentively, O mount of Ýr¶ Hari, S¶tŒ’s Spouse alone is absolute intelligence; every creature, whether animate or inanimate, is subject to MŒyŒ. If all had the same perfect wisdom, tell me, what would be the difference between God and the J¶va (the individual soul)? The latter, which identifies itself with a particular psycho-physical organism, is subject to MŒyŒ; while MŒyŒ itself, the source of the three Gu˜as, is controlled by God. The J¶va is dependent (subject to MŒyŒ), while God is self-dependent. The J¶vas are many, while the Beloved of Lakƒm¶ is one (without a second). Even though this difference, which has been created by MŒyŒ, is false, it cannot disappear except by Ýr¶ Hari’s grace, whatever you may do. (1—4)
