How can I overcome the delusion of Maya and the feeling of 'I and mine' to realize my true self?

Chapter 17 provides a clear process for overcoming the delusion of Maya. The text explains that you have become bound by your body, like a parrot tied to a tube, and have forgotten your true nature due to the Maya of infatuation. The first step is to wake up and recognize this delusion. You must advise yourself that the confusion of bodily ego—the sense of 'I and mine'—is like a mirage. To become free, you must release this attachment to 'mine-ness'. As Chapter 17 metaphorically suggests, you must 'release the feet that are held tight, O parrot, and fly high in the sky' by transcending worldly entanglements to realize your true, pure form.
