अस्त्यात्मतत्त्वं विमलं द्वितीया दृष्टिरङ्किता ।
जाता ह्यविद्यमानैव तदा विद्येति कथ्यते ॥ २५ ॥

astyātmatattvaṃ vimalaṃ dvitīyā dṛṣṭiraṅkitā |
jātā hyavidyamānaiva tadā vidyeti kathyate || 25 ||

When the mind's clear sight of the light of the soul or self, is obscured by the shadow of other gross things, which appear to be real instead of the true spiritual, it is called ignorance; and is another name of the deluded understanding.
