For many centuries all spiritual seekers have been trying to realise themselves by going inwards through meditation but no one has been successful. Only when the true spiritual Father comes then we will know the truth. You can go inwards for centuries and you will achieve nothing if you do not have the true Godly knowledge to guide you. This is my view.
who is your God & what's your concept of Maya?
Apologies for delay, I am borrowing a PC for now but have little access time right now.
I think we are all looking for something like "God". Something that it always better than who we are. We take one step and God takes two. We take an extra step and God takes another. Maya is really God and God is really Maya, all the steps are shared by one and all, not 8 or 108 or 900000 but all of humanity. The world does not exist without God and God does not exist without the world. if you want you can have one God. If you want you can have 100 gods. You don't even need to have God if you don't want. No one really makes that thought except.
The spiritual journey is a single one, it is your own spirit. We do cross paths with other spirits but that's just because we are all one huge spiritual world living togethe, we all all interconnected but also single. Your god is the same god as mine, but we experience differently. We are really one of the same. An illusion we all share.
