What does 'Where ignorance is bliss it is folly to be wise' mean?

"Where ignorance is bliss, 'tis folly to be wise"

In Eastern spiritualism (Be it Hindu Buddhist Zen or any other path) quietening of one's mind, from its constant queries and chattering is the path to enlightenment. In other Words, a state of being, of "NO MIND" but being of pure consciousness is a state of BLISSFULLNESS.

In this context, intellectuality and all inquiries in pursuit of knowledge, is the exact antithesis to the pursuit of Enlightenment (BLISSFULLNESS). In other Words, cerebral inactivity or state if IGNORANCE, equates to the state of BLISSFULLNESS (Enlightenment). Also the search for knowledge is a foolish pursuit away from Enlightenment.
