If only the agony and toil now being experienced by you to accumulate
the symbols of wealth and power for keeping yourself and your family in
comfort, are directed towards God, you can be infinitely happier. The
veil of maya (illusion), however, hides from you the face of God which
is shining from every being and thing around you. Maya creates the
universe and attracts the mind with the vast paraphernalia of the
objective world. It is a narthaki, an enchantress who entices the
intelligence and traps the senses. This na-rtha-ki can be subdued by
ki-rtha-na (note the re-ordering of the syllables). Kirthana is the
concentrated contemplation of the glory of God.
