Amma on the nature of Maya: Amma explaining Karma

Description

Mata Amritanandamayi or Amma as she is popularly known has a very original way of explaining the nature of maya or cosmic illusion. She was once asked to define maya and she replied by saying: The mind is maya. The inability of the mind to conceive the world as impermanent and changing is known as maya."
