Sankhya Kārika
Karika 44
धर्मेण गमनमूर्ध्वं गमनमधस्ताद्भवत्यधर्मेण। ज्ञानेन चापवर्गो विपर्ययादिष्यते बन्धः ॥४४॥
While one goes upward because of the dharma, downward movement happens because of the acts opposed to dharma. From knowledge comes the release, while wrong knowledge results in the bondage.
It is knowledge that is the most essential for release. Wrong knowledge binds the purusha.

ॐ असतो मा सद्गमय। तमसो मा ज्योतिर्गमय। मृत्योर्माऽमृतं गमय। ॐ शान्ति: शान्ति: शान्ति: ॥ - बृहदारण्यकोपनिषद् 1.3.28
"Ōm! Lead me from the unreal to the real, from darkness to light, and from death to immortality. Let there be peace, peace, and peace. Ōm!" - Brihadaranyaka Upanishad 1.3.28
