VII

Vidyām cāvidyāṃ ca yas tad vedobhyām saha avidyayā mṛtyuṃ tīrtvā vidyayāmṛtam aśnute

Translation

“He who knows and understands knowledge and ignorance as one, through ignorance he passes beyond the domain of death, through knowledge he attains to an eternal Life and drinks deep the Light of Immortality.”

Comment

Ignorance is the knowledge of the physical mind. Knowledge is the secret of the soul. When the physical mind surrenders its existence to the illumination of the soul, death dies, immortality dawns.
