«    Bhagavad-gītā 5.16    »

jñānena tu tad ajñānaḿ
yeṣāḿ nāśitam ātmanaḥ
teṣām āditya-vaj jñānaḿ
prakāśayati tat param

jñānena — by knowledge; tu — but; tat — that; ajñānam — nescience; yeṣām — whose; nāśitam — is destroyed; ātmanaḥ — of the living entity; teṣām — their; āditya-vat — like the rising sun; jñānam — knowledge; prakāśayati — discloses; tat param — Kṛṣṇa consciousness.

When, however, one is enlightened with the knowledge by which nescience is destroyed, then his knowledge reveals everything, as the sun lights up everything in the daytime.
