How does the provided text suggest one should overcome the veils of illusion to attain self-knowledge?

📖 Chapter 50

The text in Chapter 50 provides a clear method for overcoming the veils of illusion. It states that to get the supreme truth of self-knowledge, removing the veil of Nature (Prakriti) is the only means. To do this, one must first control the senses. By controlling the senses, one can destroy the powerful forces of Desire and Anger, which are described as a covering over knowledge. This process is likened to needing to destroy a snake to obtain the sandalwood it guards, or killing a black cobra to get buried treasure. Therefore, the path to the supreme Truth involves actively moving aside the covering of Desire and Anger to attain the treasure of knowledge.
