The magic of spiritual energy

The thinking and acting of saguna brahman is because maya is not one with it. Otherwise it would be nirguna brahman. Anything perceived outside of one makes it's reality dual and be subject to maya but it may not be in the negative sense but only that saguna brahman needs maya or wields it if you may call it so. It is not veiling but a harmonious relationship. Nirguna brahman has maya one with it whereas saguna brahman has maya external to it.
 
Saguna brahman uses maya because he needs to understand and he does understand by becoming many and as played out in space and time. The illusory nature of space time expanse indicates that there really is no gap in the understanding by saguna brahman but only the mechanics of it are being played out in space time.

Maya poses problems that is creator of the problems. Understanding is Implied. Saguna brahman understands. Posing or problem creativity implied. Both are complete by themselves and are one in the ultimate reality.

If they are one why separation. The separation into saguna brahman and maya is only the mechanics aspect of it and not in import. But now one understands why there needs to be separate existence of maya and saguna brahman in adfition to the non dual timeless reality of nirguna brahman. It reconciles the timeless nature of ultimate nirguna brahman reality with our own space time reality which we perceive. It also offers a philosophical import for maya and saguna brahman.

Timeless reality avoids conceptual conundrums like what exists beyond space and does time have a beginning or end etc and is an essential part of any theory of reality. So any theory which cohesively explains reality has to incorporate timeless reality and resolve the apparent contradiction with space time reality which we perceive.

Advaita beautifully does that.

So one implication is even though we perceive space time reality it doesn't exist. Our consciousness is an illusion which veils the truth. The magic of seeing the illusion is the work of maya.
