Translation
I have thus narrated to you how intelligent sage Mārkaṇḍeya experienced the amazing power of the Supreme Lord's illusory energy.
Personal Guidance
Suta has narrated how Markandeya experienced the amazing power of the Lord's maya. The whole chapter is a long lesson in seeing through illusion by holding to the One inside the illusion.
Reflection Questions
- Where in my life is the Lord's maya currently most active?
- What helps me perceive Him through it rather than be swept by it?
