Maya!

What is Maya?
The word “measure” in English comes from the Sanskrit root word “Maya”. Maya means that which can be measured.

When someone says, “You are drowned in Maya,” it means you are drowned in small little things that are not permanent, because Maya means that which is always changing. Ever-changing events and things around you is what Maya is. And if you are drowned in the ever-changing, and you are not logged on to the non-changing, life is very unstable. Stability comes when you log on to something in you that is not changing – that remains the same throughout time. That is termed as “getting out of the web of Maya”.

What is not Maya?
What cannot be measured? Joy cannot be measured, love cannot be measured, life cannot be measured, so that is why these are not considered Maya.

Truth cannot be measured. Truth, consciousness, and bliss – this is what God is.

If you are stable, still, and content within yourself, then everything runs towards you.
