“The strongest of bondages is
created by attachment, which makes one weak, ignorant, and unaware of the absolute Reality. Maya, or
illusion, is deeply rooted in attachment. When we are attached to or have a desire for something, it becomes
a source of illusion for us. Those who are free from attachments and have directed their desires toward
spiritual growth are free from the bondage of maya — illusion. The less attachment, the more inner strength;
the more inner strength, the nearer the goal. Vairagya and abhyasa — non- attachment and constant
awareness of absolute Reality — are like two wings of a bird which can fly from the plane of mortality to the
height of immortality. Those who do not allow their wings to be clipped by the illusion of maya can attain
perfection.

Srila Prabhupada once said:
Therefore, in the Srimad-Bhagavatam it is said that this is the incarnation of God in this age. And who worships Him? The process is very simple. Just keep a picture of Lord Chaitanya with His associates.
