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
