Maya
The word Maya means” illusion”

According to the spiritual Granth
We have come to this world to take his name
And do good deeds and help people who need our help

We deep and intense topic…

Kept me thinking for days
And to disconnect with Maya
Oops challenging,

In my understanding,Maya is the illusion where we forget that we are spiritual beings with human experience and tend to believe that the human experience is the reality.It is this Maya (illusion) that makes us believe that we are seperate from the creator,while in reality our source is the oneness with creator.
