According to the insights from Chapter 50, the entire illusion of name and form is attributed to the confusion of Maya. This supreme Maya is characterized as indescribable and exceptionally difficult to overcome. The text posits that "Whatever pulse of imagination occurs, that is the dwelling place of Maya," indicating that our own thoughts and imaginations are its playground. The states of both bondage and liberation are said to originate from this imagination. It is one of Maya's ancient powers that brings about the state of bondage for the soul, and only through pure knowledge can one abandon Maya by resolve.
How does the text explain the role of Maya in creating bondage and the illusion of the world?
