Selflessness and thoughtfulness is needed to achieve MOKSHA or NIRVANA...in our own humble ways.
Moksha is liberation of the soul from the cycle of birth and death...a sort of spiritual release.(Hinduism)
Nirvana is attaining freedom from lust,hatred,delusion...to achieve disinterested wisdom and compassion.
It is the ideal condition of rest,stability,joy and harmony.(Buddhism).
Maya,as per it's derivation signifies..."that",which is "not".
In simple terms...an illusion...which we as mortals chase,incessantly.
Just like a Matrix field,...jo hai bhi,aur nahi bhi(which seemingly is,but in reality,isn't...here reality is debatable an issue).
Lord Krishna,while rendering Gitopadesha to Arjuna,on the battlefield of Mahabharta,described the mirage...myth...of bondings...of possessions...of relationships...of desires and all such elements,which rob us off our bravado and make us weak and helpless.
Maya,when understood...denied...and won over,with sheer intrinsic will power and realization,helps us attain Nirvana...and Moksha...both.
If understood with due simplicity,they simplify life to a great extent.
