Maya

Maya does not exist from the standpoint of Reality.Maya is only an explanation of creation given by those who hold creation to be a fact. None (is) in bondage, none liberated, this is the ultimate truth. Yogis look upon mind as separate from Atman, that they seek to control it in Samadhi. But Gaudapada says that the mind is the non-dual Atman. Therefore there does not arise any question of controlling it. The mind and its activities are nothing but the non-dual Brahman, ever pure, ever free and ever illumined. It is only due to ignorance that one perceives the duality of the subject-object relationship in the activities of the mind. But a knower of truth perceives everywhere and in all activities only the non-dual Brahman.
