FACE

   The most intriguing aspect of creation is the face, particularly, the eyes.But for the face, there is no difference whatsoever in body. All bodies are same foe either the tigers or cats and dogs, or even men and men. Only the eyes make the difference. The worst thing is that even these bodies and faces undergo change over time. This is the maya aspect of creation. This leads us to the fundamental principle of 'maya' (illusion).
    Now, the problem is of identification. The eyes are instrumental in identification. Behind the eyes lie the powerful instrument of Mind.Mind sees through eyes, or may even see without eyes! The Mind sees through an inner eye lit by the soul, the Atman. Ultimately, the Atman is more important. This 'Atman' is the same for all.  Thus, only those who see through the eyes. light, of the Atman only see the true face!
   What all we see is ourselves! When we look at a person, we see ourselves in their eyes. This 'oneness' is the fundamental principle. The Bhagavad-Gita explicitly states that a "jnyani is one who sees oneness". 'Samatvam', equanimity, is the very essence of the Gita.
    The jnyani is one who has trained himself to see through the Atman and thus overcomes illusion!
