Anava, Karma and Maya - these keep the soul in bondage - day after day, year after year, decade after decade, life after life.
Seemingly good souls going through cycles of happiness and suffering - unable to understand each other and causing suffering to everyone and more specifically themselves. This is the dance of Siva, yes it truly is His dance, but one which is played with a tear in an eye.
Is suffering really a higher state of consciousness? Is all experience nothing but a learning? Anava is the individual ego always self centered, non understanding is its nature, people bound by anava always tend to see from their own perspective. They are emotional, tend to love themselves which is reflected in their talks of self pity. Blaming others due to their own self created karma, they are baffled in the ups & downs of happiness and distress - a creation of maya (a projection of their own mind).
Thus anava, karma and maya are responsible for keeping the soul bound to the cycle of birth, disease, old age and death.
