The changes happen in the changeless self
Maya Vimohini Nama Kalayah Kalanam Sthitham|
Ithyadi Dharmam Thathwanam Kalayanna Prithagbhaveth||
Instead of trying to focus on the changeless absolute which
is not easily comprehended by the mind, Lord Siva tells us to observe Maya
herself. What is not, buut appears to be, is Maya. So she is called Vimohini or
a special deluder. She operates in time and space as ever changing names and
forms. Meditating on this transient nature of all that we see, smell, taste,
touch, hear and think about, we soon understand that the perceiver of ll this
is different from the perceived. Through all our years lived, only one person
experiences all the changes we go through. When we move from babyhood to
childhood and then to youth, it is not a different person each time who is
experiencing it. The realisation of the changeless self happens this way too. –
