49. Then it became of the form of a man, from his thought of being so; and this soon grew up in its size of a full grown man.
50. So do our bodies appear to us in our living state, as the fairyland appears to one in his dream.
51. Vasishtha said:—I see the appearance of the human body, to resemble the vision of the fairyland in the dream; and I see also the miseries awaiting on human life in this world. Now tell me, my Lord! how all this misery is to be removed from it.
52. The god replied—All human woe is owing to their desires, and belief of the reality of the world; but it must be known to be all as unreal, as waves of water seen in a sea in the mirage.
53. There why such desire, and for what good and use, and why should the dreaming man be deluded to drink the show of water in the mirage?
54. The viewer of truth, who is freed from his views of egoism and tuism, and has got off from the deluded and its delusive thoughts, doth verily behold the true entity of God in his presence, in the utter absence of all worldly thoughts from his mind.
55. Where there is no desirer or desire or the desired object, but the only thought of the one unity, there is an end of all error and misery.
56. He whose mind is freed from the true and false bugbears of common and imaginary error, and is settled in the thought of one unity alone, sees nothing but the unity before him.
57. The desires of the mind, rise as goblins in the midway sky; and the thoughts of the world rove about the sphere of the mind, as the numerous worlds revolve in the sky hence there is no peace of the soul, unless these subside to rest.
