The text mentions that pride is a problem. What kind of pride is it talking about and how does it relate to Maya?

๐Ÿ“– Chapter 50

In Chapter 50, pride is presented as a significant form of delusion and a manifestation of Maya or Avidya. The text specifically critiques those who, despite being 'skilled in scriptures' and possessing 'genius,' harbor the 'great pride' of thinking there is no one equal to them. This kind of intellectual arrogance is identified as a cause for dissatisfaction. Furthermore, it is linked to the fundamental delusion of identifying with the body and possessions, expressed as 'I am the body, mine are wife and home.' These forms of pride and attachment are considered part of the 'delusion of Maya' that must be removed for true knowledge to arise.
