I salute him from a distance because I know that even the cleric is a manifestation of 'Mahamaya', the great illusion.

This couplet is a profound statement on skepticism and the nature of illusion. Amrut Ghayal suggests that even figures who appear supremely pious or authoritative—like a Maulvi—are ultimately governed by 'Mahamaya' (a great illusion or magic). The poet is not dismissing faith, but rather urging the listener to maintain a healthy dose of doubt, recognizing that the world, and even the divine, often operates under layers of perceived reality.
