             Samsara is the trap of mortality; it is the condition which brings reincarnation .
             about. Maya is the setback that keeps you in samsara since it keeps you from attaining .
             enlightenment. It is illusion; you can't see who you really are because you are too .
             preoccupied seeing who you think you are or who you appear to be. Maya is how we see .
             the world as a result of our actions. It is the actions you do that reinforce who you think .
             you are; this is known as Karma. It says that for every action you do, there is an equal .
             and opposite reaction. Karma is getting what you need. Clearly, all forms of life on earth .

             reincarnation are interrelated concepts in Indian philosophy. According to the idea of .
             karma, we are all part of a cycle of births and rebirths. This cycle has neither beginning .
             nor end. We are simply experiencing the results of our own actions in our journey .
             through this cycle. Our actions bind us to this world and we get confined in samsara. .
             While good actions cause us to be reborn to experience the good effects, bad actions .
             cause us to be reborn to undergo pain and suffering. .
             Karma and maya combine to become the problem that keeps us trapped in .
             samsara where the only solution is moksha. The way of attaining moksha can be reached .
             in one of two ways, jhana marga and bhakti marga. Jhana marga is an approach to .
