Maya
Maya manifests its force through the rolling universe and evolving forms of individuals. To understand that secret, to know how it works, and to transcend, if possible, its cosmic spell -- breaking outward through the layers of tangible and visible appearance and simultaneously inward through all the intellectual and emotional stratifications of the psyche -– this is the pursuit conceived by Indian philosophy to be the primary, and finally undeniable human task.
