Maya (illusion) obstructs vision of the Reality. Its nature is to hide the reality and make it appear as the unreal. Only when you remove it and destroy it can you have a vision of God. Through this way alone can you attain God. Maya makes you feel that the non-existent exists. It shows water in the mirage. It makes you see what is imagined and desired as Truth. Delusion cannot affect a man if he is able to give up desire, imagination and planning. If you get this faith firm in yourself, there can be no more desire for external pleasures. Enquire and investigate; you will know this truth. Without that enquiry, delusion will grow and intellect will be slowly subdued.

- Bhagavatha Vahini, Ch 41, "From Mritha to Amritha"..

See God in everyone you meet, see God in everything you handle.  - Baba
