Ajnana.

 Bhagavad Gita, Chapter 10, Verse 11:


तेषामेवानुकम्पार्थमहमज्ञानजं तमः |

नाशयाम्यात्मभावस्थो ज्ञानदीपेन भास्वता ||

teṣām evānukampārtham aham ajñāna-jaṁ tamaḥ

nāśayāmy ātma-bhāva-stho jñāna-dīpena bhāsvatā

"Out of compassion for them, I, dwelling in their hearts, destroy the darkness born of ignorance with the shining lamp of knowledge."


1. Teṣām evānukampārtham: For them (my devotees), out of compassion.

2. Aham ajñāna-jaṁ tamaḥ nāśayāmi: I destroy the darkness born of ignorance.

3. Ātma-bhāva-stho: Dwelling in their hearts.

4. Jñāna-dīpena bhāsvatā: With the shining lamp of knowledge.


In this verse, Lord Krishna explains that out of compassion for his devotees, he resides in their hearts and dispels the darkness of ignorance with the bright light of knowledge. This symbolizes the divine intervention that leads to spiritual enlightenment and the removal of ignorance, allowing the devotee to perceive the ultimate truth.
