Mode of ignorance (SB cantos 7 to 12)
Srimad-Bhagavatam
SB Canto 7
"O son of Kuru, when there is an increase in the mode of ignorance, madness, illusion, inertia and darkness are manifested."
The sky represents the mode of ignorance.
Whenever the Lord is present, there cannot be any darkness from the mode of ignorance.
The word yoga-nidrām is used in reference to the Supreme Personality of Godhead. One should understand that this nidrā, or sleep, is not like our nidrā in the mode of ignorance. The Lord is always situated in transcendence. He is sac-cid-ānanda (Bs. 5.1)—eternally in bliss—and thus He is not disturbed by sleep like ordinary human beings.
"Those situated in the mode of goodness gradually go upward to the higher planets; those in the mode of passion live on the earthly planets; and those in the mode of ignorance go down to the hellish worlds."
