Self Realization

                                                   Srimad Bhagavatam

The true nature of both God and Man is consciousness alone. But though God is forever blissful and liberated Man becomes bonded by Maya because of his desires.

Maya is the servant of God and master of man.

The existence of universe is caused by Maya which is ignorance.

Universe is the work of divine power.

The cosmic energy consists of three Gunas.  These are goodness. passion and ignorance. When these gunas are disturbed the main ingredient for the creation for the universe takes form.

This universe has several natives.

The herbs, plants, trees, shrubs etc are the lowest of them all and they are conscious only by touch.

Then there are the animals whose sense of smell is highly developed.

Then comes man with his six senses.

After him there are the Pitras or deified humans.

Then come Kinnaras spirits.

After them are Gandharvas, and Vidyadharas and Siddhas who are angels.

 Then there are Devas or demi gods.

And then there is God.
