"Just as a screen assumes the name and form of an image with which it seems to veil itself, so I – the light of pure knowing – assume the names and forms of thinking, sensing and perceiving and appear, as a result, as a mind, body and world. Thus, with my own creativity I assume a form with which, from the point of view of that form, I seem to veil myself. However, I am never really veiled from myself. I am only veiled from the illusory point of view of one of the names and forms that I assume. When I seem to veil myself from myself in this way, I am known as Maya."
