Two Types of Maya (Part One)
A spiritual discourse on the true purpose of yoga and the nature of illusion.
"The purpose of yoga practices is the development of human consciousness while maintaining balanced health."
"Māyā is a close friend of the dead. Therefore, this māyā is very, very tricky. For a woman, māyā becomes a man, and for a man, māyā becomes a woman."
An unnamed speaker clarifies that the primary aim of yoga is the awakening of consciousness, not the attainment of supernatural powers (siddhis). The talk focuses extensively on the dual nature of māyā (illusion), describing it as a tempting and treacherous force that exploits human weaknesses, yet also as a necessary medium for life, like water for a lotus.
