Two ways to live: in Maya or in God

So let's try and simplify a bit. So what are we learning? We are learning that there are basically two ways to live. One way to live is to live in Maya, which is to take the world of appearances to be true. And the other way to live is to take God to be true. So this question is good when you say what the heck am I doing? It's not a bad question, but your option should be limited to these two. Either you're taking the false to be true or you're taking the truth to be true. So if you take in the false to be true, then what is missing? Are the tools missing?
