How does the text describe the nature of Maya and the path to overcoming it?

In Chapter 50, Maya is depicted as the entire illusion of name and form, an indescribable force that is very difficult to cross over. Its dwelling place is any pulse of imagination, and from this imagination arise the states of both bondage and liberation. The path to liberation from Maya is through knowledge, based on the unassailable Vedic theorem, "Only from knowledge comes liberation." However, the text clarifies this is not a simple intellectual exercise; the dawn of true knowledge is impossible without the destruction of sinful karma. Ultimately, one who attains this pure knowledge is said to have abandoned Maya by their own resolve.
