"In this composition Sant Kabir talks about Maya, the powerful force that creates the cosmic illusion that the phenomenal world is real. Maya, the Illusion that compels us to accept that which is temporary as having lasting value, and looking for enduring happiness in this world, which it cannot provide.
He says, Maya describes our current state of existence, how much alienated we are from our true nature and how deeply entangled we become with the objects of our desires, weaving in the process a web of deceptions around ourselves that keep us conveniently concealed from the truth of who we are and what we should have been.
He says, Maya enslaves Gods and men alike. It conquers all but none has ever come up victorious against it."
