Modern life has only upgraded Maya's tools: • Consumerism instead of kingdoms • Social media instead of ritual pride • Identity politics instead of caste Yet the illusion remains the same: "I am what I own, what I achieve, what others see." Shankara would say: You are not the mind. Kabir would shout: Stop fooling yourself. Vemana would laugh: Look at your own behavior. Together, they form a complete diagnostic manual for human suffering.
