About this ebook
One of the most important questions that shaped this journey was simple yet powerful: Why can humans not be immortal? From that thought, many other questions appeared. What does it truly mean to be human? Why do humans think and behave the way they do? And why have I sometimes felt that I hate humans, even though I am one of them?
This book explores these questions through different perspectives humanity, spirituality, science, and mythology. It invites the reader to think beyond ordinary opinions and to look at human existence from a different angle. Sometimes the answers we believe to be true may only be a small part of a much larger mystery.
The teachings and philosophy of Krishna and the wisdom found in ancient mythology also play an important role in this exploration. Through the idea of Maya the illusion that shapes our perception of reality this book attempts to question what we believe about humanity, existence, and the world around us.
Maya of Humanity is not meant to give final answers. Instead, it is a journey of thought a journey that encourages readers to question, reflect, and explore the deeper meaning of being human.

About the author
About the Author
Rishi Dipen Narmada Sheth, born on 12 October 2007, is a young author from Bhuj, Gujarat, India.
From an early age, Rishi has been deeply curious about humanity, existence, and the mysteries of life. At times he even felt a strong sense of distance from humanity itself, often questioning why humans behave the way they do and why certain questions about life remain unanswered. One of the thoughts that stayed with him for years was the question of why humans cannot be immortal, and why so many secrets of the universe still remain unfolded and unsolved.
Academically, Rishi considers himself an average student, but his interests have always been rooted in creativity and curiosity rather than academic scores. He is an artist and a graphic designer, and much of his thinking comes from observing the world, asking questions, and exploring ideas beyond conventional limits.
Rishi grew up with the guidance and support of his father and grandmother, who played an important role in shaping his life. During his childhood, his father’s sisters ,known as “Fui” in Gujarati (paternal aunts in English) , were also significant supporters in his upbringing. He expresses his gratitude to them, especially Pravina and Raksha, for their presence and support during his early years.
Throughout his journey of questioning and exploration, the teachings and presence of Krishna and Radha became a major source of peace and inspiration for him.
Even today, many questions about humanity continue to live in his mind. In fact, one of the questions that still remains unanswered for him is why he sometimes feels that he hates humans, even though he himself is part of humanity. This book is part of his attempt to explore those questions and the deeper mysteries of existence.
Rishi invites readers not only to read the story, but also to think, question, and search for their own answers. If a reader believes they have discovered an answer to the questions explored in this book, he encourages them to share it with him.
