Everyone is entangled in the illusory energy, but as stated in the Bhagavad-gītā ([[Vanisource:BG 7.14|BG 7.14]]), mām eva ye prapadyante māyām etāṁ taranti te: ([[Vanisource:BG 7.14|BG 7.14]]) as soon as one surrenders to Kṛṣṇa, he is freed from māyā. Therefore Kṛṣṇa may be called bandhu-han, the killer of māyā.
