far as i can remember. illusion is the spouse of God and mind is the son of illusion. Mind has a couple of consorts, attachment and detachment. attraction is the son of attachment which is nothing but a demoniacal force. Conscience is the son of detachment which is an ascetic quality. Conscience is married to two wives, namely Subuddhi (Good-willed) and Shruti (Vedas). Conscience had a talk with Subuddhi and concluded that attraction had captured his father, God. That means, the illusory world which is created by God is now being ruled over by attraction. and this world has to be saved from the clutches of attraction. it is attraction that spins the wheel of earthly life. By killing attraction i.e., ignorance with the help of wisdom, wisdom about God has to be roused in human mind.

You shall have to find the way out.” Kubuddhi said, “Your highness, i am giving you the way out here and now. Krodh (anger) is our Commander-in-Chief, ask him how powerful he is.” and Krodh was summoned immediately. On arrival, he was asked, “Explain how much power or strength you have at your command.” Replied he, “i must not tell you the kind of strength i have at my command. But i must make a display of my power. Listen, how much a man reacts when he becomes my prey. One who becomes my prey wears a disfigured look. One who is educated or one who is a man of knowledge loses all he has attained, and
