The System of the Vedanta according to Badarayana's Brahma-Sutras and Cankara's Commentary c5.s2.t2.16

c5.s2.t2.16

For all those laws of empirical knowledge and action are valid for us only so long as we are influenced by the Ignorance, resting on a false transference, which nature imposes on us, of which it is said in conclusion (p. 21, 7): "Thus it stands with this beginningless, endless, innate transference, which in its essence is a false assumption, producing all the conditions of doing and enjoying [or suffering] and forming the [natural] standpoint of all men. To remove this, the root of the evil, and to teach the knowledge of the unity of the soul,—this is the aim of all the texts of the Vedânta."³⁵
