Can you explain the concept of Maya and how it creates bondage?

As detailed in Chapter 50, Maya is described as the entire illusion of name and form, a supreme and indescribable power that is very difficult to overcome. Its dwelling place is the imagination; any pulse of imagination that occurs is a manifestation of Maya. This is critical because, according to the text, the states of bondage and liberation are born directly from imagination. Maya has ancient powers, with one leading to the state of bondage for the soul. The chapter clarifies that one who is entangled in Maya is deluded by attachments to things like money, children, and spouses, and fails to know their own welfare. True liberation requires transcending this illusion, which is only possible through the dawn of pure knowledge.
