कबीर या संसार की, झूठी माया मोह I जिही घर जिता बधावना, तिहि तेता दोह II
The senses have the limited ability to perceive and discern truth, although we take them for granted and rely more on the appearance of things rather than the truth underlying them. Calling this universe of material world false or illusion does not mean this world is non existent. If this world was non existent then it would not have been experienced by us. So the question arises is it real?According to the scriptures, no - it is not real. Although we cannot ignore the physical reality of the innumerable variety of beings (animate) and objects (inanimate), but nothing in it can be called as real because it is subject to change every moment, like our mind. This this material world is neither real nor unreal. Anything that cannot be described as real or unreal is called as illusion. When we call this world illusion, it simply means that "what we deem it to be, it is not like that". We think it to be permanent, it is not; we think it to be non perishable, it is not; we think it to be changeless, it is not; we think it to be reality, it is not.
"Kabir says, Maya is the imagination of the deluded mind which never ends and never exists. Thus it continually baffles humanity making the mirage like attractions of the enchanting world appear as real (permanent, everlasting etc.) No matter how joyful and materially rich the household may be, there is often an equal amount of sorrow and suffering in the backdrop."
