Who is responsible for removing the veils of ignorance, and what are those veils identified as?

The wise are identified as the ones responsible for removing the veils of ignorance to allow knowledge to arise. Chapter 50 explains that these veils, which obscure the true nature of reality, should be "moved aside by the power of instruction." The text explicitly names these veils: "This alone is Maya or ignorance, or Avidya-Prakriti-Pradhan." These are the sources of delusion, such as identifying with the body or feeling superior in one's knowledge. The passage concludes that true knowledge emerges only "When the wise remove these at the beginning." This act of removal is a process of discernment, moving past illusions like the world-spread and pride.
