If knowledge, and means of knowledge are absent, naturally wrong notions would step in, and the Lord points out the consequences of the latter :
The one, who is ignorant, is destitute of faith, and having full of doubts (uncertainty), he perishes (goes to Hell); for him who doubts, there is neither this world nor the other (superior lokas) nor happiness.
