MASTER: "Yes, there is only One without a second. The Vedas speak of It as 'Om Satchidananda Brahma', the Puranas as 'Om Satchidananda Krishna,' and the Tantra as 'Om Satchidananda Śiva'.
"The ChitŚakti, as Mahamaya, has deluded all with ignorance. It is said in the Adhyātma Rāmāyana that when the rishis saw Rāma, they prayed to Him in these words only: 'O Rāma, please do not delude us with Your world-bewitching maya.' "
ISHAN: "What is this maya?"
MASTER: "Whatever you see, think, or hear is maya. In a word, 'woman and gold' is the covering of maya.
- Gospel of Sri Ramakrishna, P 290 (22 September 1883)
