Into darkness, they enter - Andham Tamah Pravishanti

Andham Tamah Pravishanti Ye Vidyaam Upaasatay

Tato Bhuyaa Eva Tay Tamo, Ya Ou Vidyaam Rataah 

                                       (Ishopanishad Verse 9)

                          Anvaya (Rearranging of the words)
Ye Vidyaam Upaasatay - Tay Andham Tamah Pravishanti 

Ye Ou Vidyaam Rataah - Tay Bhuyaah Tamah Iva Pravishanti 

                                      Meaning:

"Into blind darkness, they enter who follow after the Ignorance. 

They into greater darkness who devote themselves to the Knowledge alone."

Those who follow the ignorance - 

who simply follow the rituals and dogmas ignorantly, without understanding the Gyan, the Reality - 

will always stay in darkness.

And yet - those who devote themselves to the Knowledge alone - 

without applying it - without experiencing the Truth themself -

will enter into even greater darkness. 

Because the Truth, which is not practical - not experienced or applied is no good to anyone. 

We can preach and talk about the high ideals all day long 

But the doctrine - the Truth and ideology that is not practical can not be beneficial and fruitful to anyone. 

As the Bhagavatam says:

               Shravnam - Mananam - Smarnam

Listen - acquire the Gyana, the knowledge 

Analyze - understand it properly 

Remember - that is to experience and apply the Gyan in day-to-day life.

                         अन्धं तमः प्रविशन्ति येऽविद्यामुपासते।

                        ततो भूय इव ते तमो, य उ विद्यायां रताः ॥
