The text mentions being deluded by Maya. What is this delusion and how does one overcome it?

The delusion of Maya, as described in Chapter 17, is the deep-seated confusion arising from bodily ego and the attachment to the concepts of "I and mine." This delusion causes a person to forget their true, divine nature as pure Brahman. To overcome this, the text advises a form of self-realization. One must recognize that the attachment to the body and worldly affairs is like a mirage. The guidance is to "wake up yourself and quickly come back to your true form" by becoming free of 'mine-ness' and transcending the dualities of bondage and liberation to rest in one's pure, self-controlled state.
