Acharya Prashant explains the concept of Maya through the verses of Kabir Saheb and Baba Farid, defining it not as an external force but as a state of delusion or lack of understanding. He clarifies that Maya is the act of misperceiving reality—seeing things as they are not. When an individual chases worldly desires, they remain a servant to them, but when they stop this pursuit and realize their true nature, they gain mastery over the world. He emphasizes that the world dominates a person only as long as they harbor hidden greed or expectations. True liberation comes from recognizing that suffering is often self-manufactured and maintained through one's own consent and participation.
