"Not knowing, not seeing beings are hindered by ignorance and fettered by craving. Thus they run on and wander in the cycle of birth and death. But when a noble disciple knows and sees, ignorance is abandoned and craving is destroyed."
-The Buddha, in the Anguttara Nikaya

Lama Dawa Zangpo’s Commentary:
The Buddha here is telling us that our problems come from ourselves. They come from not seeing clearly. They come from what we call ignorance, and he also then says that when one begins this path of knowing and seeing, in other words, waking up, then we can move beyond ignorance and beyond the grasping or craving that leads so often to dissatisfaction, disappointment and pain. Once again, the Buddha is telling us in a very direct, down to earth, and honest way what to do about our situation.
