What is the true meaning of 'Moksha' or liberation, and what are the main obstacles preventing it?

True liberation, or Moksha, is defined simply as 'abiding in one's own form.' Chapter 50 states explicitly that there is no other form of liberation. The primary obstacle is ignorance (Avidya), which manifests as Maya, or illusion. This ignorance leads to attachments and false identifications, such as the belief that 'I am the body, mine are wife and home.' It also fosters pride and ego, such as thinking oneself highly skilled in scriptures with no equal. These attachments and the great pride within are causes for dissatisfaction and are considered the ropes of thirst that bind individuals, preventing them from realizing their true nature and attaining Moksha.
