Universes Float Like Bubbles in an Ocean…

 

 

Maya, the divine power of the Lord, reflected by him externally appears … The Lord, covering Himself with it, conceals his nature of absolute purity and divinity.

 

… He sees everything through of viewpoint of diversity and forgets the divinity of His I-consciousness.

 

Besides, Maya-tattva serves as the inanimate objective substance out of which all other insentient elements evolve.

 

It is thus the substantive cause of numerous universes floating in it like bubbles in an ocean.
