According to them, people are entangled by their passions and sufferings in the world of illusions (Maya) and thus do not perceive the truth. If they reached it, they would not experience suffering, since all mental suffering is the result of seeing the world incorrectly. In the world of illusions, there is no lasting happiness, since every positive is loaded with a negative (birth - death, love - fear of losing it, pleasure - addiction, etc.) To truly live one must see things as they are.
