Chapter 5 Lesson 5
According to Vedanta we are Divine beings having a human experience and not human beings (occasionally) having a divine experience.
So why do we not ‘see’ or ‘recognize’ our divine nature?
Because it is covered by Kaam (passion) krodh (anger) lobh (greed) moha (attachment) and ahankaar (ego) These 5 form a dark film over our clear ‘glass’
This ‘clear glas’ is equivalent to the ‘divine’ in everything and everyone.

You may have heard the lovely couplet:
Ghoongat ke pat khol re
Tohey piya milenge
Which means:
Move aside your veil
And you will meet your beloved

And now maybe one will be able to understand better:
Where knowledge exists, Ignorance can not.
So when one removes Ignorance, one does not create knowledge…One rediscovers it!
and
The point that Krishna makes:
‘Knowledge is being enveloped by ignorance, thereby beings are constantly falling a prey to delusion’
