16. There is nothing created any where, but it is the vacuum and in the vacuity of the great spirit of God.
17. There is no atom of the great spirit of God, which is not full of creations or created things; nor is there any creation or created thing, but is the void and in the vacancy of the Divine spirit.
18. There is no particle of Brahma, distributed in the creation: because the Lord is spirit, and always full in Himself. (The Divine soul, admits no materiality nor divisibility in its nature).
19. The creation is the supreme Brahma, and the Lord is the creation itself; there is not the slightest tint of dualism in them, as there is no duality of fire and its heat.
20. It is improper to say that this is creation and the other is Brahma, and to think them as different from one another; just as it is wrong to consider a dáru and dárya (a tree and tearable) as two things, from the difference in the sounds of the words (of the same meaning). (So Brahma immensity and srishti—creation are synonymous terms differing in sound).
21. There exists no difference of them, when their duality disappears into unity; and when we can not have any idea of their difference, unless we support the gross dualistic theory (which is absurd).
22. We know all this as one clear and transparent space, which is without its beginning and end, and quite indestructible and tranquil in its nature; and knowing this all wise men remain as mute as a piece of solid stone, even when they are employed in business.
23. Look at this whole creation as whether extinct in the Deity, and view the visible world as a vast void only; look upon your egoism and tuism as mere fallacies, and behold the Gods and demigods and the hills and everything else as the visionary appearances in our dream, which spread their nil of delusion over the minds of men (even in their waking state).

Description of the Net work of the World.
Argument:—Vasishtha’s hearing a faint sound after his hybernation and his coming to the sight of endless worlds afterwards.
