M.A.R.I.A. is the 3rd track (3 of 18) on the album "The World Ain't Ready! Chapter I: Rise to Power" by A.L.I.A.S.

This song has many meanings... On the surface, M.A.R.I.A. is the next evolution for slang similar to Mary Jane, Brown Sugar etc all related to marijuana.  

M.A.R.I.A. on another level means simply the desire, lust or addiction for any substance such as women, food, drugs, clothes, jewelry, material objects, cars, houses, fame and/or power.  

However, on a deeper spiritual level M.A.R.I.A. is an acronym for "Mind And Reason In Action."  It is symbolic of the battle between the gross worldly objects and the more subtle spirituality.  An active mind driven by the senses is what keeps man bound to the material or physical plane of existence.  Reason symbolic for "God's Wisdom" or "Intelligence" is what we need to nurture either through experience or more directly through meditation.  

We should never become slaves of our "wants" but rather discipline the body and the senses to serve the soul which is guided through intuition by connection inwardly with Wisdom...

M.A.R.I.A.

This gentle folk song tells the tale of Anya, a woman whose simple acts of kindness and unwavering faith outshine a lifetime of meritorious deeds. Inspired by a parable from the Lotus Sutra, the song reminds us that true enlightenment lies not in the quantity of our actions but in the quality of our connection to the Buddha's wisdom. With its soothing melody and thought-provoking lyrics, "One Pure Moment" invites listeners to reflect on the transformative power of faith and the beauty of a heart open to the boundless truth.

(Verse 1)
In fields of green, Anya's heart did bloom,
Kindness her song, dispelling gloom.
Jasmine and alms, her spirit's guide,
Merit amassed, a boundless tide.

(Chorus)
But faith's a spark, a tiny gleam,
Outshines good deeds, it would seem.
The Buddha's wisdom, vast and wide,
In one pure moment, deep inside.

(Verse 2)
A monk then came, robes worn and frayed,
Lotus Sutra's truth, he gently laid.
Anya listened, spirit alight,
Faith's gentle fire, burning bright.

(Chorus)
But faith's a spark, a tiny gleam,
Outshines good deeds, it would seem.
The Buddha's wisdom, vast and wide,
In one pure moment, deep inside.

(Verse 3)
The village elder, proud and bold,
Scoffed at her faith, a story told.
"My mountain of deeds," he did proclaim,
"Dwarfs her small spark, a fleeting flame."

(Chorus)
But faith's a spark, a tiny gleam,
Outshines good deeds, it would seem.
The Buddha's wisdom, vast and wide,
In one pure moment, deep inside.

(Bridge)
The monk then spoke, with gentle grace,
"A mountain's form, bound to its place.
But a dewdrop, kissed by the sun,
Reflects the heavens, all worlds as one."

[instrumental]

(Chorus)
For faith's a spark, a tiny gleam,
Outshines good deeds, it would seem.
The Buddha's wisdom, vast and wide,
In one pure moment, deep inside.

(Outro)
So let Anya's tale forever guide,
True wisdom's found, with hearts open wide.
Faith's humble light, let it shine through,
Enlightenment's path, forever true.
