The saints and sages always experience the Parbrahma but the common man experiences only the universe and the happenings in it which are the creations of the Maya and hence are nothing but illusions. It is doubtless that the experiences of the saints are true and those of the common man being illusions, more likely to be untrue. The problem still remains that despite the existence of the Parbrahma only, how was this universe created, what was the reason for it, how it is maintained and how it has sustained itself? To solve this mystery Shree Samarth describes the original Maya. The original Parbrahma is unique, totally free, not responsible for any action, total in every sense and is there for ever as it is and was. This Parbrahma had for once a feeling that it is the Parbrahma. This feeling gave rise to what we are seeing today. Although this feeling emanated from the Parbrahma it remained as it was without any change whatsoever even during the fraction of time during which the feeling came. This can be compared to the sky in which it seems that there are clouds and various forms of winds, yet the sky is unaffected by all this. This feeling which the Parbrahma had is known as the original Maya. There are two integral parts to it. The first one is purest and completely knowledgeable and the other one signifies the ultimate power and has many facets. The first one represents the God as we know and say.
