How does Maya manifest as delusion and pride in human behavior?

Chapter 50 describes how the delusion of Maya leads to futile attachments and pride. It causes people to cling to the false idea that 'I am the body, mine are wife and home.' This creates what the text calls 'ropes of thirst for sons, cattle, etc.' that entangle individuals. Ironically, those trapped in this delusion may consider themselves wise 'Pandits' while having no real happiness. This same ignorance also fosters immense pride, leading to thoughts like, 'Skilled in scriptures, possessing genius, there is no other equal to me.' Chapter 50 identifies this very pride as a form of Maya and a direct cause of dissatisfaction.
