The Upanishads

The Power of Maya

Maya's ability to hide reality and project appearance.

Maya has two powers: avarana (veiling) and vikshepa (projection). It conceals Brahman and projects the world of multiplicity, like darkness hiding and dreams creating.

Maya veils the real and projects the unreal.
