Sri Yukteswar Giri Quotes about Ignorance

  • Ignorance is the perception of the nonexistent, and the nonperception of the Existent.
  • Victorious over the powers of Darkness and Ignorance, man becomes one with God.
  • Keen intelligence is two-edged. It may be used constructively or destructively like a knife, either to cut the boil of ignorance, or to decapitate one's self. Intelligence is rightly guided only after the mind has acknowledged the inescapability of spiritual law.
  • When Divine Love becomes well developed, Ignorance (Maya) begins to be withdrawn.
