If our current circumstances are an effect of the past and born of ignorance, what is the remedy to overcome this?

The teachings in Chapter 50 identify instruction as the essential remedy to overcome the harm of ignorance. The text acknowledges that whatever we experience in worldly life through destiny is an effect of the past, which itself is born of ignorance. The first step is having this knowledge. The solution provided is not to exhaust the body but to receive instruction that dispels the darkness of imagination covering our intellect. Chapter 50 uses the powerful analogy of a lamp being lit to reveal the true nature of an object mistaken in the dark. Similarly, proper instruction illuminates the mind, causing the darkness of ignorance to vanish, revealing the true Substance (Sadvastu), and making the mind fearless.
