Subject: [K-list] Maya is the Power!

Namaste Jim,

The Gunas are the original disturbance of the
equalibrium of Prakriti, or undifferentiated energy.
They are Sattwa, which is equanimity or balance, Rajas
which is excitement, or activity and lastly Tamas
which is dullness sloth etc. Everything in the
Universe goes through these on a continual basis.
Without the movement of these Gunas or modes, there
would be no 'creation', for everything would be in
perfect balance or Sathwa.

The idea is get oneself in a perfect state of Sattwa
by spiritual practice and staying off rajasic and
tamasic foods like meat, onions, spice, fermented,
preserved etc, for example. The Vedas say only when
man has overcome the three gunas that he would be able
to get rid of the Maya which makes one see the unreal
as real, (or gives one the illusion). Maya is the
'creative' principle or primal illusion.

Love Tony.
