Maya in Indian context is understood in a confusing and vague way. Some great thinkers said the world is an illusion. Just by telling this, they could not justify the relevance of it. This illusion too serves a purpose in the great Play. It is the self-limitation of the Infinite. Sri Aurobindo explains that Maya is a limited and partial truth, often distorted in appearance. Instead of abandoning creation as an illusion we have to find the key to transmute it to its original divine possibility.
