Summary
In this episode, Gautamji explains Krishna’s statement that though unborn and imperishable, He manifests through His own maya. He clarifies that the Lord refers to the conscious principle that presides over matter, and that ignorance causes the Self to be misapprehended as the world. Through the analogy of the rope and snake and the prism and light, Gautamji shows how illusion operates and why attachment sustains it.
