"This whole world, bewildered by the three states composed of the gunas, does not recognize Me, who am unchanging and beyond them. This divine maya of Mine, composed of the gunas, is hard to overcome; but those who resort to Me alone cross beyond this maya. Evil-doers, the foolish, the lowest among men, whose knowledge is stolen by maya and who have taken to the demonic nature, do not surrender to Me."
