Among the two, the aparā-vidyā is Ṛgveda, Yajurveda, Sāmaveda, Atharvaveda, phonetics, know-how of rituals, grammar, etymology of Vedic words, science of metres, astronomy and astrology. And parā-vidyā is the one by which that imperishable Brahman is known.
~Mundaka 1.1.5 (tr-Dayananda)
According the the Mundaka Upanishad, all arts and sciences form the lower knowledge. Brahmavidya is the higher knowledge.

In Samsara, there is doing and not doing.
In Isvara is nondoing.
Turiyam.
Brahman is consciousness-existence.
Maya is the sword of Brahman.
Turiyam.
in turiyam, nothing ever happens
in samsara, there's doing and not doing. in isvara, there's nondoing.

vidya in avidya is divine deconstruction. but like any kind of mass transportation, there's a time to get off. if nihilism isn't your destination.
our conditioning turns original vidya into avidya.
living in avidya is this material world.
believing 'vidya in avidya' is really vidya is a darker place than just believing in avidya itself.
Unmoving, nondual, faster than the mind, unreachable by divine senses, surpassing those who chase after despite Its staying still, by That the life force of fire and air supports the activities of all beings.
~Isa Upanishad 4 (tx-aumdada)
which came first? the acorn or the oak tree. never mind. trick question. maya is beginningless.
All is Brahman. Let go of thinking otherwise. Take refuge in that truth alone. The material world has nothing more to offer.
Everthing in this ever-changing universe is pervaded by that Supreme Being. Surrender up your world. Be supported by that understanding. Don't seek after material wealth.

In the Dark Side of the Sun
I am the reflection of the principle of existence. I know the ground of consciousness like the back of my mind. I am here transcending space. I am right now beyond time.
Consciousness-existence transcends space-time. It is one without a second and a second with no time. It isn't any object. It transcends it.
