The text uses several analogies to explain Maya. Could you describe some of them?

Chapter 50 provides several vivid analogies to illustrate the deceptive nature of Maya, or worldly illusion. One example is how a rope in dim light can be mistaken for a snake, or how the nacre inside a shell can appear like silver. Another powerful image is the mirage, where the sun's rays create the illusion of water in a desert. A further analogy is the 'circle of fire' (Agni-kankan) that appears when a single lit firebrand is whirled around quickly; the circle is a delusion, while only the firebrand is real. These examples demonstrate how Maya produces a non-existent world, a delusion that even the wise can find difficult to see through.
