TRUE KNOWLEDGE

Knowledge of the Self is the one direct means for emancipation. As

fire is necessary for cooking, so without knowledge of the Self there

can be no emancipation. Action or karma cannot destroy ignorance –

knowledge does. The Supreme Soul appears finite on account of

ignorance. But when that ignorance is destroyed, verily that one Atma

or Soul shines by itself like the Sun when the clouds are dispelled. –

Atma Bodha of Adi Sankara
