Maya is Not the Enemy The modern mind often misunderstands Maya. It treats Maya as a mistake, a cosmic deception, a spiritual fraud imposed upon the human being. This is a shallow reading. In the Bhagavad Gita, Krishna does not describe Maya as an accident. He calls it His divine power: daivi hyeṣa guṇamayi mama maya duratyaya — 'This divine Maya of Mine, made of the gunas, is difficult to cross.' The phrase is crucial. Krishna does not say Maya belongs to evil. He does not say Maya is meaningless. He says it is Mine. https://www.boloji.com/articles/55429/maya-is-not-the-enemy
