Difference between Maya & Mithya

I have my keys in my pocket & other things on top which hides it. I think I lost my keys. I search everywhere. I finally find it with me. It was always with me. I simply thought that it wasn't with me. This thought is Maya.

Today, we have our physical body. It is real, for now. Once we die, it will eventually cease to exist. It is no longer real. Something that is temporarily real & unreal is Mithya.
