The problem word is "illusion". It is true that they are both brahman, but it is also true that they are not the same internal monologue; the brains of the two entities contain different thoughts, but the consciousness is one.
If that is true then why is it if person A, realizes the true nature, he realizes or achieves moksha, while person B is still stuck in maya?
Because that's how the scripts of those individuals work to generate a story. The universe and all life is one big drama which brahman is simultaneously the actors and the audience. Achieving Moksha is where the character becomes aware that it is also the audience. Characters in maya are unaware of the fact that they are the audience, so the play is a much more serious affair for them, which only creates more and more of this divine drama.
also is brahman capable of thinking? is that why maya exists because brahman got confused?
Maya is the theatre, stage scene and set for the play. Moksha is the comfy front row seats. Characters in the play who achieve moksha realise that they are simultaneously on the stage and in the seat. Characters in maya think that they are only on the stage.
In the same way that when dreaming, you forget that you're laying in bed, and lucid dreaming is where you remember. Moksha is awareness of laying in bed in waking life.
If you found out that you were god, dreaming a life for yourself, and that you were identical with the external world, you would ask yourself: "So, what would I have happen to me in my life? what would be my perfect drama?":cool1:
You died, and death was complete freedom from suffering - bliss. But it very quickly got lonely and repetitive in bliss, so you decided to be born once more. You've been doing this forever.
