Bhagavad Geeta 5.16

Sanskrit

ज्ञानेन तु तदज्ञानं येषां नाशितमात्मनः। तेषामादित्यवज्ज्ञानं प्रकाशयति तत्परम्।।5.16।।

jñānena tu tad ajñānaṁ yeṣhāṁ nāśhitam ātmanaḥ teṣhām āditya-vaj jñānaṁ prakāśhayati tat param

Meaning

When you gain self-awareness, clarity naturally emerges. Like sunlight dispelling darkness, understanding your true nature illuminates the right path forward in any situation.

Translation

But in the case of those whose ignorance is destroyed by knowledge (of the Self), their knowledge, like the sun, reveals that supreme Reality.
