jñānena tu tad ajñānaṃ yeṣāṃ nāśitam ātmanaḥ | teṣām ādityavaj jñānaṃ prakāśayati tat param ||
But for those in whom that ignorance has been destroyed by true knowledge, their knowledge shines like the sun and reveals the Supreme Reality.

Educational Q&A
Ignorance is not overcome by external change but by true knowledge; when ignorance is destroyed, knowledge becomes self-luminous like the sun and reveals the Supreme Reality (param).
In the Gita’s teaching context within Bhīṣma Parva, the discourse explains how inner delusion veils reality; for those who have removed that veil through knowledge, the highest truth becomes directly manifest.
