Maya - The Cosmic Illusion
The power that veils reality and projects multiplicity.
Maya is the mysterious power by which the one Brahman appears as many. It is neither real nor unreal - it veils the truth and projects the apparent world.
Know nature to be Maya and the wielder of Maya to be the great Lord.
Maya explains how the infinite appears as finite without changing.

- What the Upanishads say about letting go
Maya is the name for the way one reality appears as many, concealing as it displays. It is a diagnosis of why things look more solid than they are.
