उडगण और सुधाकरा, बसत नीर के संग I यों साधू संसार में, कबीर पडत न फंद II
Maya is "That which is not", an illusion where things appear to be present but are not what they seem. The reflection of moon and stars in water appear to be as real as the moon and stars in the sky, yet when the fishing net is cast, the fish get trapped in it but the reflection of moon and stars cannot be caught.
"Kabir says, just like a fish is lured by the bet, the slavery of senses bound us to the worldly desires. A Self Realised Soul however lives amidst the worldly activity (Maya), but doesn't fall prey to the glitter of the world, living in the world but not of the world."
