Chapter 18 verse 22
“That knowledge is said to be in the mode of ignorance where one is engrossed in a fragmental concept as if it encompasses the whole, and which is neither grounded in reason nor based on the truth.”
“Ekam
Sat, Vipraha Bahuda Vadanthi-There is one absolute truth, the wise talk about
it in various ways”. This is the best summary of various true religions which
highlights and promotes universal values such as love, compassion, truth and
non-violence of body and mind. When partial or incomplete knowledge of the
world and what is not true becomes the basis of existence, then the person’s
actions emanating from this incomplete knowledge is said to be performed in the
mode of ignorance or tāmasa and would drag one down the dreary path of sorrow
and strife.
