SELF AND IGNORANCE .
Q: Where did ignorance arise from ?
M: There is nothing like ignorance.
It never arises. Everyone is jnana svarupi (Self-abiding).
It is just that jnana (knowledge of Self) does not come easily...
The dispelling of ignorance is jnana, which always exists. It is like the necklace, supposedly lost, which remains around the owner's neck, or the ten fools each counting all nine others, but failing to count themselves.
To whom is knowledge or ignorance ?
Your nature is Bliss.
Ignorance is now hiding that Bliss.
Remove the ignorance for Bliss to be freed.
