Uncover consciousness with the sunlight of scriptural wisdom
When consciousness is displayed through the medium of the subtle and
gross material bodies, it is covered, but when the consciousness is
purified, in Krishna consciousness, one becomes free from the entanglement
of repeated birth and death.
When uncontaminated pure knowledge is uncovered from the modes of
material nature, the actual identity of the living entity is discovered:
he is eternally a servitor of the Supreme personality of Godhead. The
process of uncovering is like this: the rays of sunshine are luminous,
and the sun itself is also luminous. In the presence of the sun, the rays
illuminate just like the sun, but when the sunshine is covered by the
spell of a cloud, or by maya, then darkness, the imperfection of
perception, begins. Therefore, to get out of the entanglement of the
spell of nescience, one has to awaken his spiritual consciousness, or
Krishna consciousness, in terms of the authorized scriptures.
