Chapter 50 explains that ignorance, or Avidya, manifests in human behavior through deep-seated attachments and pride. It describes the thought "I am the body, mine are wife and home" as a vain effort rooted in the delusion of Maya. The text also highlights intellectual pride as a form of ignorance, pointing to those who, despite being skilled in scriptures, think, "there is no other equal to me." This great pride is identified as a direct cause for dissatisfaction. Chapter 50 explicitly states that this is Maya or ignorance, and that the wise must remove these veils of attachment and pride at the very beginning in order for true knowledge to arise.
