Prabhupada: This is tug of war. So don't be afraid of māyā. Simply enhance chanting and you'll be conqueror. That's all. Nārāyana-parāh sarve na kutaścana bibhyati [SB 6.17.28]. We are not afraid of māyā because Krishna is there. Yes. Krishna says, kaunteya pratijānīhi na me bhaktah pranaśyati [Bg. 9.31]. You just declare, "My devotee will never be vanquished by māyā." Māyā cannot do anything. Simply you have to become strong. And what is that strength? Chant Hare Krishna Hare Krishna Krishna Krishna Hare Hare, loudly. Yes.
Devotee: What is māyā? I know that it's attractive...
Prabhupada: Māyā means which drags you from Krishna. That is māyā.
