Maya in Indian context is understood in a confusing and vague way. Some great thinkers said the world is an illusion. Just by telling this, they could not justify the relevance of it. This illusion too serves a purpose in the great Play. It is the self-limitation of the Infinite. Sri Aurobindo explains that Maya is a limited and partial truth, often distorted in appearance. Instead of abandoning creation as an illusion we have to find the key to transmute it to its original divine possibility.
Every element, no matter how small, plays a crucial role in building the world. Even the seemingly insignificant contributes to the grand design of the Cosmic Spirit, shaping great minds and achievements.
