There are not two – Brahman & Maya:

Sri Ramakrishna

Maya.

.. is the combination of the three ideas Desha - Kala - Nimitta -- …

have has been further reduced into Nama - Rupa.

… this Maya is the thing that has the effect among me and you,

between all creatures and man,

among divine beings and men.

In fact,

it is this Maya that causes the Atman to be caught,

as it were,

in so many millions of beings,

and these are distinguishable only through name and form.

If you leave it alone,

let name and form go,

all this variety vanishes forever,

and you are what you really are.

This is Maya.

…is again no theory,

but a statement of facts. (CW.III.419-20)
