Maya is the veil that prevents us from Self-realization. This veil is given to us by God. He thus puts us under the lower prakriti. Because of maya, we do not see us as all derived from the One God, united in Him, but see ourselves in the resulting multiplicity as rootless individuals. I find that maya is similar in concept to the original sin.
