The seeker often asks "what after Realization?". Will Maya (Illusion) still persist? While a long discourse could be given to expand on this question, this author feels that the words of Saint Kabir are more to the point in this matter. Perhaps the reader will agree.
Tell me, Brother, how can I renounce Maya?
When I gave up the tying of ribbons, still I tied my garment
about me:
When I gave up tying my garment, still I covered my body in its
folds.
So, when I give up passion, I see that anger remains;
And when I renounce anger, greed is with me still;
And when greed is vanquished, pride and vain and glory remain;
When the mind is detached and casts Maya away, still it clings to
the latter.
Kabîr says, "Listen to me, dear Sadhu! the true path is rarely
found."
-Saint Kabir
