Part 2/5:

The Role of Maya in Human Existence

Maya is depicted as a womb from which all opposites are born, creating a bridge between the material and spiritual worlds. Within the hierarchy of existence, everything from the divine realms (identified as Brahma) to the mundane (represented by a blade of grass) is contained within this fabric of opposites. Two forces emanate from this understanding: the Lingham and the Yoni, symbolizing the masculine and feminine principles that together create the universe we inhabit.
