To say 'I' in all places is science, and to do egoism is ignorance of the Self.”

“To say that Knowledge of the Self (Gnan) is exactly the same as that other knowledge is considered as speaking contrary to fact (viradhana). Knowledge of the Self is [real] Knowledge and no matter how much 'light' there is in ignorance (agnan; relative knowledge), yet it is still ignorance. To refer to ignorance as Knowlege would be deemed as speaking contrary to fact about Knowledge!”
