A Sanskrit word meaning the mysterious power or deception of God. Later it came to mean unreality, illusion, delusion, or the illusion of a magician, and some Indian philosophers liked to use it to explain the nature of the universe. According to Vedanta philosophy, especially the school of Shankara, the real world that people believe to be true is based on ignorance, or something like Maya, and the world we live in is an illusion.

神の不思議な霊力または欺きを意味するサンスクリット語。のちには非真実,幻,迷妄,魔術使いの幻力などの意にもなり,インドのある種の哲学者たちは宇宙のあり方を説いて好んでこれを用いた。ベーダーンタ哲学,特にシャンカラの学系によれば,人が真実と思っている現実の世界は無明に基づくもの,つまりマーヤーのようなものであり,われわれの生きている世界は虚妄であるという。
