Sage Vasishtha
This ignorance or Maya veils the truth and creates this diversity; but it does not know its own nature, and that is strange. As long as one does not enquire into its nature, it rules; the moment there is enquiry into its nature, it ceases. This Maya does not exist in truth. So long as this truth is not directly experienced by you, you will have to accept my word for it.
O Rama, do not enquire into 'How has this ignorance arisen but enquire into 'How shall I get rid of it'. When this ignorance or Maya has ceased to be, then you shall know how it arose. You will realize that this ignorance is not a real entity. It arises only in a state of unwisdom. Not a single person, whether he is a great scholar or a hero, has been spared by this ignorance! This ignorance is the source of all sorrow: uproot and destroy it.
