Caught in the Play of Illusion of the Almighty men behave with the pretension of things unknown as known and things known as unknown. They lack the shrewdness of judging what is Real and what is Unreal. This dilemma can however be overcome by becoming aware of and total surrender to the Almighty Within!
The nature of the eternal maya and how men may overcome this in realisation of salvation is dealt in the sankeertana, "Tala Ledu Toka Ledu Daivama Ni Mayalaku", by Annamacharya..............
'O My Lord! Your 'Maya Lila' (Illusory Play) doesn't have either Head or Tail - that is, the beginning or end; since it is said to be as old as the Creator, Yourself! As long as we are under its influence, we are wandering in known and unknown delusions.
'We are unaware of how we got this mortal body. We don't know how thoughts are cropping up in it. We are ignorant of what is all about pleasures and pains of this worldly existence (Sansara bandha). We are not shrewd enough to know our past and future births. We are spending this life daily moving about restlessly.
'We are ignorant of how we came into our mother's womb and we don't know when we exit from this world. We don't know how our wealth accumulated; how long would it stay with us and when it deserts us unaware. We are ceaselessly revolving in the Nirmana Chakra - Cycle of Contraption (of Creation) of the Almighty. Strangely enough we feel complacent in this flux of the Almighty.
'The bestowal of Grace by You has made me become aware of what is wise to follow and what is ignoble to avoid. Now I have attained tranquil state about realisation of You. Without disowning me please accept me as Your Protege!'.................

Creation is solid design of the Creator. And the motion of all celestial bodies, the life cycles of all beings, flora and fauna; everything carried in perfect symmetry as ordained by the Almighty. Instead of wasting on pondering about the incomprehensible schemes of the Almighty, it is wise to become aware of the purpose of our coming into this world and complete our mission in realisation of salvation by the Grace of the Almighty!
