"It is astonishing that the soul, unable to conquer the field of the objects of the senses, claims to be able to conquer the whole earth!" - Shrimad Rajchandraji
**Conclusion:**
The **Avedyasamvedya** state is like blindness, leading to downfall. It can be conquered by the **Satsang-Agam** yoga, only by the great souls. 85.
**Meaning:** This **Avedyasamvedya** state is like blindness, leading to downfall. It can be conquered by the **Satsang-Agam** yoga, only by the great souls.
**Discussion:**
The **Avedyasamvedya** state, as explained above, is like blindness and leads to downfall.
This **Avedyasamvedya** state can only be conquered by the great souls through the **Satsang-Agam** yoga. Just as a blind person, due to his blindness, falls into a deep pit while walking, similarly, due to the blindness of the **Avedyasamvedya** state, the soul falls into the pit of hell and other lower realms. But, if a true guide comes to the blind person, he will not fall into the pit and will walk on the right path. Similarly, if the soul gets the guidance of **Satsang** (good company) and **Agam** (sacred scriptures), it will become aware of the right path and will not fall into the pit of lower realms.
**Interpretation:**
The **Avedyasamvedya** state, with the above-mentioned characteristics, is like blindness. Therefore, it is said to be **Durgaatipaat** - leading to downfall. **Satsang-Agam** yoga means the association with good company and sacred scriptures. This emphasizes the importance of **Purusha-praadhaanya** (the supremacy of the soul). This **Avedyasamvedya** state is conquerable, only by the great souls, because it is impossible to conquer anything else. Therefore, **Agam** also says (in this way, it is appropriate to say) that "I know" (**Jaanaami**) because of the failure of its own rules.
