Maya or Mãyã, is a term used mainly by Eastern philosophies, such as Hinduism or Buddhism and meaning "illusion" and coming from the root mã, meaning to form, measure, conform, create, etc. It has the power to create illusion as if it were the authentic reality, veiling the Truth from the human being, through three powers: that of veiling/hiding, that of projecting and finally, that of revealing; The myth of the cave has resonances with the idea of Mãyã.
