### SB 3.7.7

> एतस्मिन्मे मनो विद्वन्खिद्यतेऽज्ञानसङ्कटे ।\
> तन्नः पराणुद विभो कश्मलं मानसं महत् ॥७॥

> etasmin me mano vidvan\
> khidyate 'jñāna-saṅkaṭe\
> tan naḥ parāṇuda vibho\
> kaśmalaṁ mānasaṁ mahat

*etasmin*—in this; *me*—my; *manaḥ*—mind; *vidvan*—O learned one; *khidyate*—is troubling; *ajñāna*—nescience; *saṅkaṭe*—in distress; *tat*—therefore; *naḥ*—mine; *parāṇuda*—clear up; *vibho*—O great one; *kaśmalam*—illusion; *mānasam*—relating to the mind; *mahat*—great.

**O great and learned one, my mind is greatly illusioned by the distress of this nescience, and I therefore request you to clear it up.**

Such mental bewilderment as represented here by Vidura takes place for some living entities, but not for everyone, for if everyone were bewildered there would be no possibility of a solution by higher personalities.
