Aum Marichaye Namah: Marich means mirage.
A person in the desert gets to see a big pond of water at a long
distance. It is the heat and the rays of the sun that form the image
of water. It is not actual water. In fact the person can’t reach
that point of water. If he runs after the mirage to quench his
thirst he will receive death but no water. The Sun God is the
creator of all types of mirages. HE is the creator of illusions,
good and bad. HE is the originator of all good and bad impressions
of life. HE is the commander of all such things. Our eyesight, to
look at life, is very short and small. It can focus on a very small
portion of time, space and event. Hence, we form wrong impressions
of life. We have wrong ideas of life. We have wrong desires to
fulfill in our life. We work hard to get what we actually don’t
want. We don’t know what life really is. In this way we walk on the
wrong path of life and our precious time is wasted in vain. We
worship the Sun God to save us from the mirage of life. The other
meaning of the word Marich means one who makes us aware of the sin.
The word Marich also means the power that cures diseases. Here, pray
the Sun God to give the wisdom to know what is good and what is bad
for life.
