I have been really influenced with the Sufi Philosophy of Sant Kabir and I would like to share this blog link which attempts to fathom the depths of his teachings in a simple and lucid manner.

One of the posts titled "Maya - Maha Thugini" is quite thought provoking yet soothing indeed! The original lines composed by Sant Kabir defines Maya or Illusion in a manner challenging even the age old religious scriptures which have always defined Maya as an ultimate Distraction which hampers Realisation. Sant Kabir compares her to Gods and Goddesses and makes one realise that Maya or Worldly Illusion cannot be ignored .... One has to bow before her and accept the disruptive elements she bears instead of challenging her. It's link is as below:
Reminds me of a few lines from the film "Chitralekha" which she sings in response to Swami ji addressing her as a characterless prostitute lost from the path of GOD:
संसार से भागे फिरते हो , भगवान् को तुम क्या पाओगे।
इस लोक को भी अपना न सके, उस लोक में भी पछताओगे।
यह पाप है क्या, यह पुण्य है क्या?रीतों पर धर्म की मुहरें हैं।
हर युग में बदलते धर्मों को, कैसे आदर्श बनाओगे?
संसार से .....
यह भोग भी एक तपस्या है, तुम त्याग के मारे क्या जानो?
अपमान रचेता का होगा, रचना को अगर ठुकराओगे।
संसार से .....
हम कहते हैं यह जग अपना है, तुम कहते हो झूठा सपना है।
हम जनम बिताकर जायेंगे, तुम जनम गंवाकर जाओगे।
संसार से ....
