MESSAGE FOR CONTEMPLATION 1145
Radhe krishna,
Have a blessed day,
NATURE OF BRAHMAN
Swami SivanandaIn duality experience fluctuates. In unity it is a continuous flow. Brahman has not become the Manifest, because becoming implies change, and change means perishability, which is contrary to the eternal, real nature of Brahman. So the Reality has not become the manifold and hence manifestation is nothing but an illusion, a play of Maya. The shadow is, verily, an unreality. The absolute is not a synthesis. It is identity. Akasa alone can be compared to Akasa; ocean alone can be compared to ocean; even so, Brahman alone can be compared to Brahman.
It is not the question of being pure or impure. The very proximity of persons of opposite sex
is dangerous, however pure and well-meaning the persons be. Moving with women unleashes a
primitive force quite beyond the easy control of the human being. The woman herself may be
spotless, but the Lord’s mighty power of Maya may work through her unawares. The hidden power
of lust in the heart of men begins to manifest in feminine presence and proximity. Not without
reason, the great contemporary saint, the revered Malayala Swami of Yerpedu, strictly forbids the
careless mixing with persons of opposite sex. He once told a Sadhaka who had unwittingly allowed
a lady to minister to his comforts, while he was ill, and had his feet shampooed by the kind-hearted
nurse, “If I were to name an atonement for this lapse of yours, I would have you apply glowing coals
to the portion of the feet touched by the lady.”

The Upanishad wants to tell us that the universe is nothing but a bundle of vibrations. It is not made up of things, objects, substances, etc. Energy continuum is the universe.
