Quote of the Week
"He who understands Him to the be the slayer and he who takes Him to be the slain both fail to perceive the truth. He neither slays nor is slain."
Bhagavad-Gita 2.19
Commentary: God, the One Who is All-That-Is, the Alpha and the Omega, is not affected in the least by the apparent activities of the relative world, and anyone who thinks that He is affected in any way, has failed to perceive the truth. He does not act at all; He neither slays nor can He be slain. He is transcendent to this apparent relative world of dualities, which to Him is but a dream. And as the prime Dreamer, He is the creator and controller of every character, circumstance, and situation in His dream. We, meanwhile have volunteered to be the characters or players in His dream, as Shakespeare so eloquently expressed it: "All the world's a stage and all the men and women merely players." We each have our part to play so that He may experience through us, from every perspective, every aspect of every drama, created in this apparent, relative dream world. This is His play (Maya,) His grand illusion. With this understanding, we get to be the players who can later appreciate our performance and celebrate in joy the value we've added to His creation.
