Illusion is the root cause of all False identity

One of the fundamental philosophical principles of the Srimad-Bhagavatam is the distinction between two types of illusion, Yoga-maya and Maha-maya, the spiritual and material states of existence, respectively.

>>> Ref. VedaBase => SB 10.28.13

All the 4 types of illusion is removed by seeing Krsna in everything.

You will see Me in all living entities as well as all over the universe, just as fire is situated in wood. Only in that state of transcendental vision will you be able to be free from all kinds of illusion.

>>> Ref. VedaBase => SB 3.9.32

Srila Prabhupada in His purport speaks of 5 Kinds of illusion

By the influence of darkness, the conditioned soul forgets his relationship with the Supreme Lord and is overwhelmed by attachment, hatred, pride, ignorance and false identification, the five kinds of illusion that cause material bondage.

>>> Ref. VedaBase => SB 3.10.17

Mother Saci said "O Nityananda, why do You deceive me? I know You are the Supreme Lord. Therefore please remove Your illusion."

In order to deceive the living entities, the Supreme Lord provides various kinds of illusion in their thinking. The conditioned souls then accept temporary objects as eternal. This is the influence of the Supreme Lord.

>>> Ref. VedaBase => CB Madhya-khanda 11.092

Note:

4. Tattva-vibhrama - illusion about spiritual knowledge

The four types of illusion are:

1) Illusion about one's own identity

2) Illusion about the Supreme Lord

3) Illusion about the processes of sadhana and prema-bhakti

4) Illusion regarding subjects unfavorable to Krishna consciousness

>>> Ref. VedaBase => Anartha and How to Overcome Them
