Soundarya Lahari - Part 78

(Continued...)
What I am going to tell you now may surprise you in that  it comes from me. I was talking about the  mAyic creations. They provide the background for the spiritual sAdhanA. There is a sAdhanA, a sAdhaka,
and the karma of sAdhanA. 

This triplet is certainly all MAyA. So what we do is to use MAyA itself to fight MAyA. This is indeed a strategy to reach advaita-bhAva. The very fact of a guru teaching you is nothing but Duality. But that itself can lead to advaita-siddhi. Like a lion roaring in the dream and waking you up, so also the mayic dream in which we are all in can be wiped off by a guru’s words doled out  in the world of duality.
