Seek the One Beyond
Maamaayan means the one beyond everything
If God seals you with your expiry date, like the medicines have their expiry date marked on them, you will not get caught in illusions, will you? Persons imagine that they are destined to live for 100 years and that early death is only for others. Death can occur at any second.
That is why wise men declare, ‘I wasted my life in worldly pursuits, and did not make a single garland for the Lord of Thirutthani, the Lord of Wisdom (Muruga).’
He who knows the world is illusion, seeks the ‘Maamaayan’ who is beyond illusion. ‘Maamaayan’ means the one beyond everything. Till you realize this, you will continue hankering after status and wealth.
To be with the world; To be without it. This is Renunciation.
