Those who worship avidya (ignorance)enter into blinding darkness.but those who revel in vidya knowledge enter as it were into greater darkness than that.
The human mission is to find or realise one's Supreme self enlightenment , there is no other purpose of life but few are aware of it.
Avidya is ignorance and vidya knowledge upasathe is worship and rather is revealing. Revealing in vidya is indulging in the pleasures accruing from spiritual practice. Spiritual pursuit is enchanting indeed but merely following the spiritual path becomes pleasurable. Practitioners become involved and addicted to the joy derived which is mundane as these practices are only the means to and not an end in itself. Thus. They are doomed to blinding darkness even greater than those who are immersed in worldly pursuits.
A perfect seeker uses the spiritual paths of karma action, jnana knowledge and bhakti devotion to attain enlightenment. One must make good use of them to purify the mind throughly and then employ the purified mind to realise the Supreme self within.
No seeker can cross over from the terrestrial to the tra.nscendental without the help of spiritual practices. One must employ them in reaching the ultimate rather than revealing in them.
