Sri Sadgurubhyoh Namah
Avidya = Ignorance of Self.
Somewhere I read this story of a person who is chased by a tiger, trips on a wire and falls into a well, hanging upside down. Below there is a snake, and because of his fall, honey bees starts to sting him. One or two honey drops fall on his lips and he involuntarily licks and enjoys them.
This is the story of all ignorant persons
Life is running out day by day, all the pleasures are fleeting moments in life. Yet we take these as permanent and do not try for higher nobler Truth. The person who tries for that is talked about as a fool.
A Guru shows the direction in which a person has to walk. Self is permanent. Awareness of Self is jnana. Consciousness of worldly pleasures as if they are permanent is ignorance.
Hari Om
Prasad
