To dispel the illusions and darkness of imagination caused by ignorance, the teachings state that instruction is the remedy. Chapter 50 illustrates this with an analogy: when a secret lamp is lit, the darkness of ignorance vanishes, and the true form of things is revealed, just as a rope mistaken for a snake is seen for what it truly is. This instruction helps remove the harm of ignorance, allowing the true Substance (Sadvastu) and the brilliance of knowledge to shine through. The text emphasizes that the 'snake-ness' of the illusion disappears on its own once the light of knowledge is applied.
