Atmabodha,-Self-Knowledge, (S.-1, Ch.-2, V.-3)

अविरोधितया कर्म नाविद्यां विनिवर्तयेत् । विद्याविद्यां निहन्त्येव तेजस्तिमिरसङ्घवत् ॥ ३॥

Avirodhitayaa Karma Navidyaam Vinivartayet Vidya-Avidyaam Nihantyeva Tejashtimira-sanghavat.



1 A-virodhi-tayaa karma Since it is not opposed to action, 2 na avidyaam vi-ni-vartayet; Ignorance cannot destroy its (effects); 3 vidyaa vidyaam nihanti eva Knowledge alone can destroy ignorance, 4 tejah timira-sangha-vat. as light alone can remove darkness.

Karma or Action cannot destroy ignorance as it is not opposed to it. Knowledge or Jnana alone destroys ignorance as dense darkness is destroyed by light. By means of action one fulfill his desires. Therefore action is in harmony with ignorance and cannot therefore directly destroy it. Here ignorance does not mean illiteracy or absence of book knowledge. According to Vedanta the knowledge of the nonduality of Brahma and Atma is the only true knowledge; all else is ignorance (Ajnana or Avidya). Such jnana alone removes the ignorance as dense darkness is destroyed by light.
