Srimad Bhagavat Gita commentary Chapter 10 verse 11

 Chapter 10 verse 11 

Out of compassion for them, I, who dwell within their hearts, destroy the darkness born of ignorance, with the luminous lamp of knowledge.” 

When people surrender to Him, pleased with the lesson learnt in an effort to purify themselves, God destroys the darkness which is akin to ignorance in each one’s hearts due to the effect of maya or material energy. Real knowledge-jnana yoga happens when one realizes that the self which people associate with the body, mind and intellect complex is not the real self but Self belongs to the Supreme and is part of the whole and it is whole by itself as well. This knowledge is imparted by His grace upon surrender to Him. All roads whether it is karma, jnana, bhakti or raja yoga- lead to only Supreme power. The grace He bestows is out of eternal love for his creation. He is the ocean of compassion and love. Let us soak in His love!
