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

As detailed in Chapter 50, Maya is the supreme, indescribable illusion of name and form, and it is very difficult to cross over. Its dwelling place is any pulse of imagination that occurs in the mind. The text clarifies that the very states of bondage and liberation are born from this imagination. Of the ancient powers of Maya, one leads to the state of bondage, which is associated with attitudes of sinfulness and misfortune. The other power leads to liberation from that bondage, associated with the knowledge of one's true self as Brahman. Thus, while Maya creates the illusionary world, one who attains pure knowledge can abandon Maya by resolve.
