O dear one, know that whatever exists in the worlds—whether pervaded by great glory or having attained the state of a withered blade of grass, and whatever is seen, shining forth even from Hara (Shiva) and other deities downwards—is all ignorance (avidyā). For its destruction, the realization of the self (ātman) is achieved by transcending that (ignorance).
