This world and that World...

The world, like snake in rope, thief in a stump, mirage in air, has no real existence.

Seeming to be, mere appearance, is its nature.


By this world That world is concealed.

And this world is by That concealed.

Names and forms one sees,

or else one sees pure Being-Awareness-Bliss.
