चउव्विह-कसाय-मुक्को।:
Kashay – 3 : Maya (Deceit)
What is Maya?
When a person thinks something different in their mind, says something different, and does something completely different, that is Maya!
To say something and then go back on it is called a lie!
But, to lie with planning, to hide things, that is Maya!
The saying "to trap someone" (Dabba ma utarvu) came into being because of the influence of Maya.
A person with Maya is called a 'thug', and the thugs of Delhi are famous all over the world!
What is Maya like?
Like a snake.
No matter how much 'yoga' a person does, it's immediately obvious where their legs are and where their head is. But a snake? A snake coils its body so much that you can't even understand where its tail is and where its head is.
People with Maya twist and turn any conversation so much that you can't know what the actual truth is and what's in their mind.
Losses due to Maya:
It is written in the Shri Dashvaikalik: ‘माया मित्ताणि नासेइ।’
The person who does Maya, all his 'friends' break off their friendship with him. Because a person with Maya is not trustworthy.
‘માયાવી નર ફીટીને રે, પામે સ્ત્રીનો અવતાર.’ (Maya ni Sajjhay)
A person who does Maya, after death, in the next life, gets the birth of a woman.
