The

fundamental ignorance called Maya (delusion) plays many tricks with

you. It makes you believe the rope to be a snake and you run away in

fright. It makes you imagine a lake of water where there are only the

hot sands of the desert, and you run towards it to slake your thirst!

And you call it, "mayaa," meaning, "through me,for me," in Sanskrit,

thus identifying yourselves with it, as if it is real and beneficial.

The moment you realize it is illusory, it ceases to bother you. Maya

creates the universe; it spreads before the mind the vast paraphernalia

of the objective world. It is a Narthakee (dancer), an enchantress who

entices the intelligence and traps the senses. This Na-rtha-kee can be

subdued by Kee-rtha-na. Keerthana is the contemplation and singing of

the glory of God.
