When Krishna said, “Remove the defect in vision, then the author of this Universe can be cognised,” Arjuna sought the cause for this faulty vision. Krishna explained, “Between Me and this universe, there moves maya (delusion). It is indeed a hard task for one to see beyond maya, for maya too is Mine. It is of the same substance; it is My creation and under My control. It will turn in a trice, even the mightiest among men, head over heels! Do not take maya to mean some ugly thing that has descended from somewhere else; it is an attribute of the mind which makes you ignore the true and the eternal Paramatma (Supreme Self) and instead value the manifold multiplicity of Name and Form. It causes the error of believing the body to be the Self, instead of the embodied (the Deha instead of the Dehi). To overcome maya is surely the most difficult task. Only those who are wholeheartedly attached to Me can conquer My maya.”

The Mahamaya is more powerful than the Lord. Once on query from Narada
to the Lord about the concept of Maya, the Lord asked the Narada to come with
HIM. While the Lord and the Narada were going, the Lord felt thirsty and asked
Narada to fetch some water for HIM. Narada soon went to a river nearby to
fetch the Water. On reaching the River, Narada saw a beautiful girl sitting on the
river bank and collecting water. When Narada saw that girl he got attracted and
spoke to her in some sweet words and both married and settled in the nearby
village. Soon children were born to him and Narada was living with his family.'
Narada slowly forgot the purpose for which he came to the River. After
sometime, a deadly infectious disease spread that village and everyone started moving
and Narada too asked his wife for her consent to move away from that village.
Immediately Narada, his wife and children moved out from the village and were
going to a safe place. On the way, they had to cross a river and owing to sudden
flood, Narada's wife and children were washed away. Narada was sitting on the
bank of the river and was weeping. The Lord appeared before Narada and asked
him the reason for his sadness. Narada explained the tale. Lord asked him where is
the water? Narada soon realised the entire situation and also understood the
concept of Maya.
