What kind of mindset or attitude is described as 'Avidya' or ignorance, and how does it contrast with 'Vidya' or true knowledge?

πŸ“– Chapter 50

As detailed in Chapter 50, 'Avidya' (ignorance) is defined not as a lack of information, but as a specific negative attitude. It is described as the "mine of 'Avidya'" to have a mindset of being a "sinner, unfortunate, luckless." This state of being leads to bondage. In direct contrast, 'Vidya' (true knowledge) is the eternal pulse of understanding "I am Brahman," the pure, enlightened, and liberated soul. This realization of one's true nature as the treasure of 'Consciousness is Bliss' is what leads to liberation from the bondage caused by the illusion of Maya.
