What are we actually chasing?
In Sikhi, Maya isn’t described as a physical illusion or a fake world. The world is very real—because it was made by the Divine. The true illusion is its *permanence*.
Maya is the cosmic force that tricks our minds into believing that temporary things—our wealth, our social status, our possessions, and even our current circumstances—are forever. It feeds our Haumai (ego), trapping us in a cycle of chasing the creation while completely forgetting the Creator.
The beauty of Gurmat (the Guru’s teaching) is that we don’t have to run away from the world to find peace. We just have to live like the lotus flower: rooted in the mud, resting on the water, but completely untouched by it.
True peace isn’t running away from life; it’s anchoring your mind in Naam while fully living it.
