What are some of the examples the book uses to explain how Maya, or illusion, works?

Chapter 50 provides several vivid analogies to illustrate the nature of Maya (illusion) and Avidya (ignorance). It explains that Maya causes one thing to appear as something else, much like a rope in dim light might be mistaken for a snake, or how the iridescent inside of a shell can create the illusion of silver. The text also points to the natural phenomenon of a mirage, which people see but is merely an effect of the sun's rays. A man-made example is also given: when someone whirls a lit firebrand (kolit) in a circle, it creates the illusion of a solid ring of fire (Agni-kankan), which doesn't actually exist. These examples from Chapter 50 show how Maya produces a seemingly real but ultimately non-existent world.
