<P> Hendrick Vroom explains , `` The term Maya has been translated as ' illusion , ' but then it does not concern normal illusion . Here ' illusion ' does not mean that the world is not real and simply a figment of the human imagination . Maya means that the world is not as it seems ; the world that one experiences is misleading as far as its true nature is concerned . '' Lynn Foulston states , `` The world is both real and unreal because it exists but is ' not what it appears to be ' . '' According to Wendy Doniger , `` to say that the universe is an illusion ( māyā ) is not to say that it is unreal ; it is to say , instead , that it is not what it seems to be , that it is something constantly being made . Māyā not only deceives people about the things they think they know ; more basically , it limits their knowledge . '' </P>
