Uitleg
Krishna gives the image of the sun. When ignorance is destroyed by knowledge of the self, that knowledge shines like the sun and reveals the supreme reality. The sun does not create what it lights up; it shows what is already there. In the same way, knowledge does not produce the highest truth but uncovers it. The verse completes the thought of the previous one: what ignorance covers, knowledge reveals. The contrast of darkness and light is one of the oldest images for spiritual awakening.
