So Ignorant

Burn down the forest of ignorance with the fire of the conviction, 'I am the one, and Pure Consciousness', be free from grief and be happy. You are that Consciousness, Bliss: Supreme Bliss, in and upon which this universe appears superimposed, like a snake on a rope. Live happily. Ashtavakra Samhita I.9.10
In the dark of night a rope is mistaken for a snake. The rope does not really become a snake; it has no other reality than the rope itself. In the same way this universe has no real existence. It is the Self: Pure Consciousness and Supreme Bliss, in which this universe, through ignorance, is seen to exist. Consciousness, which is the substratum of the universe, remains eternally pure and unaffected. We are that Consciousness. Therefore, we must cease identifying ourselves with the superimposed universe, and thus we shall be happy. Swami Nityaswarupananda
It is worse still to be ignorant of your ignorance. St Jerome
Ignorance once dispelled is difficult to re-establish. Laurence J Peter
