Maha Maya

Maya Maha Thaganee Hum Jaani
Tirgun Phaans Liye Kar Dole
Bole Madhuri Baani

-Kabir

Translation:
I have come to understand that Maya is a big fraud, she has the noose of Triguna as a trap in her hands, swaying and spilling sweet words from her lips!

How does one poetically write about Maya? Here’s how! 👆🏾👆🏾🙏🏽🙌🏽

Maya is typically addressed as a feminine principle. The manifestation of creation necessarily involves limitation of the limitless. Reality veils itself in Māyā. The veil separating the subject from the object, making them distinct from each other (From the “Glorious Alchemy” by Dr. Kavitha Chinnaiyan)

In other words, it is this principle that doesn’t allow us to see we are one and the same.

“Maya does not mean reality does not exist; it simply means that we are not seeing it the way it is.”
