Describe the common human attachments and forms of pride that are identified as manifestations of Maya.

Chapter 50 details how Maya, or ignorance, manifests in common human behaviors and attachments. It points to the delusion of identifying with the physical body and claiming ownership over things like one's wife and home, calling this a 'vain effort.' The text also describes how people can become completely surrounded by the 'ropes of thirst for sons, cattle, etc.' and, despite calling themselves wise 'Pandits', possess no real happiness. Furthermore, great pride in one's own scriptural skills and genius, leading to the thought that 'there is no other equal to me,' is identified as a cause for dissatisfaction and a form of this same ignorance. The chapter concludes that knowledge only arises when a wise person removes these initial delusions.
