The one who has attained the yogic vision is not afraid of being submerged in the ocean of Maya. Therefore, he fearlessly walks through the net of Maya, without being caught in its clutches. He boldly transgresses it, and in doing so, he encounters no obstacles or hindrances, no difficulties or impediments.
"Knowing it to be the water of Maya, he crosses it unperturbed; knowing the truth, he remains unaffected, not being swayed by the waves of desire."
Shri J. 6. Sajay - 8
"Seeing the objects of enjoyment as they truly are, like the water of Maya, even while enjoying them, he, being unattached, reaches the ultimate goal." 166.
Meaning - The one who sees the objects of enjoyment as illusory, like the water of Maya, even while enjoying them, being unattached, reaches the ultimate goal.
Commentary - In the same way, the one who sees the objects of enjoyment as illusory, like the water of Maya, without identifying with them, even while enjoying them, being unattached, reaches the ultimate goal. This is because he is free from attachment and aversion, and is not controlled by his desires.
Enjoyment refers to the objects of desire, which are illusory, like the water of Maya. The water of Maya is merely an illusion, it has no real existence. Therefore, the one who identifies with the water of Maya is deluded. He is deluded in his desire to attain it, and he is deluded in his belief that it can quench his thirst. Because it is illusory, he can cross it without being submerged. In the same way, the objects of enjoyment are illusory, they are empty. They are nothing compared to the true nature of the self. Therefore, the one who sees them as they truly are, is not attached to them.
Vritti - The one who sees the objects of enjoyment as they truly are, without identifying with them, sees them as illusory, like the water of Maya. Even while enjoying them, he is unattached, and reaches the ultimate goal. This is because he is free from attachment and aversion, and is not controlled by his desires.
