Acharya Prashant explains that Shri Krishna defines ignorance not as the absence of knowledge, but as the reliance on it. Because all knowledge is external, incomplete, and limited, it inherently breeds doubt. When we base our security, relationships, and trust on information or reasons, we live in a state of constant terror because that knowledge can be shaken by new evidence or changing circumstances. True ignorance is choosing to live by the limited content of the mind when the unlimited is available. The yogi is one who has gained freedom from this tyranny of knowledge and the mind, moving beyond coincidences to live by something fundamental that time cannot take away.
