Into darkness they enter who follow.....Ishopanishad

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 applied and experienced 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.

                         अन्धं तमः प्रविशन्ति येऽविद्यामुपासते।

                        ततो भूय इव ते तमो, य उ विद्यायां रताः ॥
