Brahman & Maya
In order to recognize Maya you have to have a word for it.  Otherwise its workings will constantly elude you, what to speak of its existence.  How can you ponder something you have no name for?

Covered by the five sheaths of body, energy, mind, thought, and ego, we are Brahman in hiding.

Regarding Maya's manifestation in present times, there are three trends in overall society these days: the first is towards insanity; the second is towards superficiality; and the third is towards sentimentalism.  But as the wisdom song of India sings, "Quick, sparkling soul-fish!  Vacate the surface of relative existence where death is granted his fishing grounds.  Dive deep into the ocean of God's beauty....."

Mind + Maya + Nature = Worlds; Mind + Intelligence + The Word = Brahman.

Who can find the end of trees, of clouds, seeds, bodies?  Who can find the end of Maya?  But that is what the scientists are attempting to do.  Alas, Maya draws one in, unwittingly.

Do not study maya; rather, observe it from a distance.  And always keep your witness Consciousness in hand.

View maya from a distance, but get as close as you can to Brahman.

Maya is not really the game that is afoot; the game that should always be afoot is seeing through Maya!

Infinity in the world of objects is one thing, but the Infinity of the Soul is something else entirely.  [The first is the unreal, the impermanent, and the latter is the Real, the Essence of all.]

"The knowledge of diversity constitutes Maya."  Diversity is overcome by knowing the ever-unified One who is beyond diversity.

The gods and goddesses will have to be reborn on earth as human beings to get rid of their desire for domination and lordship.  They have to learn humility so that they can become so small that they can slip through the net of maya and be free.
