If you are a student of science, it is an integral, inseparable part. Just like light is an integral part of the lamp, or virtual particles are part of the vacuum. Maya is because of the existence of Brahman.
Hindus believe that Maya is the part and parcel of Brahman.Unless Maya allows there is no scope to realize Brahman.
Distractions like excessive materialism, attachment to desires, and overthinking can be considered Maya as they cloud the mind and keep one preoccupied with illusions of the world. These distractions prevent one from perceiving Brahman by creating a sense of separation and attachment to the external world, leading to ignorance of the true nature of reality and the self. To overcome Maya and perceive Brahman, one must cultivate mindfulness, detachment, and spiritual awareness to transcend these distractions.
Brahman
Shankara's assertion that the world is illusory (Maya) aligns with the Upanishadic teaching that all is Brahman by emphasizing the distinction between the ultimate reality and the transient nature of the material world. While the Upanishads affirm that everything is a manifestation of Brahman, Shankara argues that the empirical world is deceptive and that true understanding comes from realizing the non-duality of Brahman, transcending the illusions of separateness. Thus, recognizing the illusory nature of the world leads to the realization of the oneness with Brahman.

It is the main focus of Hinduism to release the Atman back into the Brahman, in a process known as Moksha.
