The Upanishads

Freedom from Maya

Knowledge alone dissolves the illusion of maya.

Maya cannot withstand the light of knowledge. When Brahman is known, maya is seen as never having truly existed - like waking from a dream reveals its unreality.

When the higher knowledge arises, maya is seen to have been an appearance only.

Traditional, Advaita Teachings

Liberation is the recognition that bondage never truly existed.
