Vivekakhyatih aviplaca hanopayah, Patanjali Yoga SutraThe vivekakhyatih aviplaca hanopayah sutra explains about the incessant flow of knowledge to destruct the seed of all achings. The un-wavering sound awareness is the basis of honest knowledge, the only means to eradicate ignorance. The seeds of fake understanding need to be exhausted through intense meditation.

Vivekakhyatih (viveka = discrimination, judgement, true knowledge, discretion; khyati = the faculty of discriminating objects by an appropriate designation) awareness of knowledge, fame, celebrity
aviplava undisturbed, unbroken, un-fluctuating, unfailing
hanopayah the means for removal, the means for dispersion

The ceaseless flow of discriminative knowledge in thought, word and deed destroys ignorance, the source of pain.

Un-fluctuating sound judgement with unremitting awareness is the essence of true knowledge, the only means to eliminate ignorance and free the seer from the seen. It should always be kept in the highest state of awareness and attentiveness, known as vivekakhyati, the crown of wisdom.

The seeds of false knowledge need to be burnt up through unremitting yogic practices to maintain an unbroken flow of discriminative intelligence.
