'To steal a term from Hinduism, we spend most of our days in Maya: “that which is not.” The illusion. Maya is your job and the email you don’t want to answer and your worry about politics and the thing you’re mad about on Twitter.'

I’ll say I’m pretty good avoiding recognizing the Maya. But whats also true is the pain and sorrow that accompanies that (fairly) consistent perspective of awareness.

Maybe that’s a paradox?

but

That makes it no less true.
