What is the path to Moksha (liberation), and what obstacles, such as Maya, stand in the way?

The path to liberation, or Moksha, is described in Chapter 50 as 'abiding in one's own form.' This state is achieved only through the knowledge of the unity between Brahman and the Soul, which serves to remove the causal body of ignorance. The primary obstacle is Maya, or Avidya, which creates a delusional world and fosters attachments. This manifests as pride in one's own skills, or the mistaken belief that 'I am the body, mine are wife and home.' These attachments are described as ropes that bind individuals. The text states that even those who call themselves wise are helpless before Maya if they harbor such pride. To attain knowledge and liberation, one must first recognize and remove these veils of ignorance.
