Bhagavad Gita · Mahabharata Codex

Maya

माया · māyā

the divine power that veils and projects

God's own creative power, by which the one appears as the many. It is made of the three qualities and is hard to see through; those who take refuge in Krishna alone cross over it. It does not mean the world is unreal. It means that what we take the world to be hides what it rests on.
