"One day He [God] showed me the māyā of Mahamaya. A small light inside a room began to grow, and at last it enveloped the whole universe.
Further, He revealed to me a huge reservoir of water covered with green scum. The wind moved a little of the scum and immediately the water became visible; but in the twinkling of an eye, scum from all sides came dancing in and again covered the water. He revealed to me that the water was like Satchidananda, and the scum like māyā. On account of māyā, Satchidananda is not seen. Though now and then one may get a glimpse of It, again māyā covers It."
- Sri Ramakrishna, Gospel of Sri Ramakrishna, P 831 (9 August 1885)
