Pero existe una Realidad suprema donde la māyā no puede dominar sin temor, pensando: «Éste es engañoso; lo controlaré». Allí no hay filosofías ilusorias de disputa; más bien, los verdaderos estudiantes de la ciencia del ātman investigan constantemente según pramāṇas autorizados. Allí no se manifiesta la mente material, que oscila entre decisión y duda; no existen productos creados, sus causas sutiles ni los fines de disfrute. Tampoco hay un jīva condicionado, cubierto por el falso ego y las tres guṇas. Esa Realidad excluye todo lo limitado y lo limitante; por ello el sabio debe detener las olas de la vida material y reposar en esa Verdad Suprema.
The illusory energy of the Lord, Māyā, can freely exert her influence over those who are hypocritical, deceitful and disobedient to the laws of God. Since the Personality of Godhead is free of all material qualities, Māyā herself becomes fearful in His presence. As stated by Lord Brahmā ( vilajjamānayā yasya sthātum īkṣa-pate ’muyā ): “Māyā herself is ashamed to stand face to face with the Supreme Lord.”

This verse explains that in genuine Self-realization, fear, anxiety, and hypocritical pride cannot remain; such impurities lose their place when one steadily contemplates the true Self.
Because the conditioned mind habitually oscillates—planning, judging, accepting, rejecting—creating inner conflict; the verse says this restless pattern does not dominate one established in realized truth.
Reduce compulsive arguing and overthinking by daily sādhana—hearing Bhagavatam, chanting, and self-inquiry—so the mind’s doubt-cycle weakens and fear-based living diminishes.
