"Beware of Maya" Whats does George Harrison mean by that?
Am I dense or is this lyric a bit vague? Anyone know what he means?

"Watch out now, take care
Beware of soft shoe shufflers
Dancing down the sidewalks
As each unconscious sufferer
Wanders aimlessly
Beware of maya"

4. Thank you. I've wondered about that for the past 36 years.
Makes sense now.

2. Does it have to do with Hinduism?
Edited on Mon Apr-03-06 09:17 PM by deadparrot
In Hinduism, "maya" is the material (illusory) world, IIRC.
