TRUTH : Redefined

The Natha Siddha Gorakshanath defines the Ultimate Truth, the Supreme Reality and its understanding as:

"The Absolute Truth is the nameless, formless, and Subject-Objectless Perfect Unity of Existence and Experience, free from all contradictions and relativity, qualifications, limitations and negations. The Absolute Truth, by virtue of its infinite, eternal, dynamic aspect, eternally and freely manifests Itself in all kinds of names and forms, all orders of phenomenal existences and experiences, all sorts of dualities and negativities, and harmonizes and unifies them in the all comprehending calm and tranquility of Itself.”

Thus Gorakshanath expresses the Absolute as the Universe, the Macrocosm as one with the Microcosm, and the concept of Samarasa.

Samarasa — the perfect assimilation; Undifferentiated oneness in which the yogi sees himself as the world, and the world as being in himself. It is the real stage of unity and equipoise in which microcosm becomes one with macrocosm: it is true Moksha.

Astrologically Pournima tithi is said to be best for Satyanarayana (personification of truth) worship. Even here Sun and Moon are placed samasaptaka to each other.
What is it about 1st & 7th houses that Maya doesn’t affect them.
This brings us to the definition of Maya.
