- Maaya, demons, opposition to the right path are created by God to test if His seeker truely loves Him or has some fears/desires on his list.
- True seekers of God, say no to tentalizing maaya politely with folded hands & proceed ahead with unitary focus on meeting God.
- The purpose of maaya, according to Gita is only to provide an unfailing test on seekers of God, as this knowledge is denied to fickle minds.
- Knowing God is the sole purpose of knowledge. Bhagwat Gita is the only scripture that describes God in 1st person and directly envisions God.
- Only those devotees of Truth/God, who can conquer maayaa by self-disciplline, can realize God.
- Maayaa is conquered by seekers of Truth/God by refusing to accept ill-gotten powers/wealth/comforts/sensory pleasures, just as test-hurdle.
- Indian mythology calls maayaa as illusionery feminine-image of God, and wise take a direction opposite to instinctive maya-net to realize God.
- According to Gita, everything that alienates man from God is maayaa/corruption. Seekers of God renounce maayaa (which includes our false egos too).
- Counterpart of illusionery woman harlot has a parallel in "maayaa" in Indian mythology. She allures man to worldly desires by indisciplline.
