Srimad Bhagavat Gita commentary chapter 5 verse 16


Chapter 5 verse 16

“But to those whose ignorance is destroyed by the knowledge of the Self, like the sun, to them Knowledge reveals the Supreme Brahman”

In the Vedas and other smritis, the sun is always related to brightness, knowledge and detachment. The reference may not even be to the sun in our solar system alone but several suns and bright objects in the vast universe. When a person’s ignorance or veiling of the maya of this world is removed by the knowledge of the Self and hence the brightness of the ever shining sun, then true bliss happens and Supreme Brahman state is attained.
