17-18. Just as, in a dream, the one mind appears in contradictory forms, as the self and the non-self, friend and foe, the speaker and the spoken and the purpose, in the same way, while the ultimate reality is unborn, eternal and devoid of inner sequence, we see it as having birth and other contradictory attributes.

Commentary

The author now gives an illustration to show that the manifestations are unreal and only unity is real.

[Read verse 17-18 above]

[One should not wonder that all the plurality which we see before us is being denied and the unity which one does not see is being advocated. Because that kind of thing is happening all the time. The world which we see in our dreams is contradicted in the wakeful state. Similarly, the world which we see in the wakeful state does not persist in the 迟耻谤墨测补, (the state beyond deep sleep). So that may also be looked upon as unreal. That which persists in all states is the only thing which is real. Consciousness is the only thing which so persists. The different states come and go and they, like pleasure and pain, do not affect the real nature of consciousness. The variety which one sees in a dream is confined to a particular experiencer. This experiencer, the transmigrator, being essentially consciousness, is Brahman. He creates things out of himself, without any other material and enjoys them.

It is this idea which is conveyed in the following verse, quoted in the 痴峁泃迟颈 on V膩k. I. 127.

pravibhajy膩tman膩tm膩na峁� s峁涐梗峁璿膩 bh膩v膩n p峁泃hagvidh膩n,
蝉补谤惫别艣惫补谤补岣� sarvamaya岣� svapne 产丑辞办迟腻 pravartate,

The word 产丑辞办迟腻 refers to the creation of the individual self. As it is ultimately Brahman, it has the power to create. It does not require any external material for the purpose. As there is no real difference between the creator and the creation, it is said to be vaikalpika. The creation which takes place in the wakeful state depends upon external material and it is a creation which is common to all experiencers. The dream creation is impermanent, whereas the one in the wakeful state is relatively permanent. Both are unreal, because both are manifestations of nescience. In dream a further veil on consciousness, namely sleep, also takes place. On account of that, the average man looks upon the dream-creation only as unreal. But to those who know the truth, the whole universe, that of dream and that of the wakeful state, is unreal. Only the persisting consciousness is real, without sequence and eternal. But to nescience, it appears to have sequence. Therefore, it is the eternal 艣补办迟颈 of Brahman which manifests the unreal world, the perceiver and the perceived and creates this world dream. It is the function of philosophers to remove this universe which is charming as long as we do not reflect.]
