What are some examples of ignorance or Maya that the text says can affect even supposedly wise people?

Chapter 50 points out that ignorance, also called Maya or Avidya, manifests as worldly delusion and attachment. A primary example is the false identification with the physical self, expressed as, "I am the body, mine are wife and home." The text also describes how people can become entangled in the 'ropes of thirst for sons, cattle, etc.' A particularly subtle form of this ignorance is found among those who consider themselves wise. Chapter 50 notes that so-called 'Pandits' may be skilled in scriptures and possess great genius, but they harbor immense pride, believing 'there is no other equal to me.' This very pride is identified as a cause for dissatisfaction and is a form of Maya that prevents the arising of true knowledge.
