Maya by Mahatma Gandhi

This short work examines the Hindu concept of maya (illusion) and its role in human suffering, arguing that attachment to material possessions, ego, and transient pleasures blinds individuals to spiritual truth. It urges readers to cultivate simplicity, self-discipline, and inner purification through truthfulness, non-attachment, and service, presenting practical guidance for living a morally consistent, spiritually centered life while remaining active in the world.
