Often we puffed up by false ego in influence of illusion and start thinking I am on top of all. But our Vedic scriptures are full of these types of people who thought, I am the one who control the world but they are no more now.
We have to be enough intelligent to say no to Maya because Maya is so powerful, sometimes it just give you very attractive way to get into the trap of it.
Here is the story of one young boy, who earned name, fame and wealth in very early age (around 26 years) and thought, why should I be under control of anyone, I have enough money I can take my own decision what to do and what not to do?
In the influence of false ego and pride, he started rejecting good advice from his relative and friends and got into bad association.
He was not aware even what he is doing, he started taking alcohols and when he visit any hotel or restaurant he never took amount back he always used to say, keep the change with you.
Slowly-slowly time comes in his life, when he lost everything and now when he goes to the same hotel and ask for foods, gate keeper through him out.
Now he has lost everything,his money, wealth and fame and realizing the power of illusion.
Remember that, whatever we have in the form of name, fame, wealth and beauty it's all gift of God and in return we must use it in service of God else it will only give us the pain and going to spoil our life.
Even Lord Krishna has already stated in Bhagwad Gita about the illusion and its power, we can very easily trapped by illusion if we are not in shelter of Lord Krishna.
दैवी ह्येषा गुणमयी मम माया दुरत्यया ।
मामेव ये प्रपद्यन्ते मायामेतां तरन्ति ते ॥ 7.14॥
This divine energy of Mine, consisting of the three modes of material nature, is difficult to overcome. But those who have surrendered unto Me can easily cross beyond it.
