Vedantasara - Verse 34

Sanskrit

अज्ञानं तु - सदसद्भ्यामनिर्वचनीयं त्रिगुणात्मकं ज्ञानविरोधि भावरूपं यत्किञ्चिदिति वदन्त्यहमज्ञ इत्याद्यनुभवात् “देवात्मशक्तिं स्वगुणैर्निगूढाम्” (श्वेत उ १.३) इत्यादिश्रुतेश्च

Swami Nikhilananda's Translation

However, ignorance is described as something positive though intangible, which cannot be described either as being or non-being, which is made of three qualities and is antagonistic to Knowledge. Its existence is established from such experiences as “I am ignorant”, and from such Sruti passages as, “The power belonging to God Himself, hidden in its own qualities” (Svet. Up.I-3).
