24. Being unborn of material substance, he sees no apparition like others, who are exposed by their ignorance to the misleading errors of falsehood, appearing in the shape of a mirage before them. 25. As Brahmá is merely of the form of the mind, and not composed of any material substance, so the world being the product of the eternal mind, is of the same nature with its original archetype. 26. Again as the uncreated Brahmá is without any accompanying causality with himself, so his creation has no other cause beside himself (_i.e._ There is no secondary cause of the universe). 27. Hence there is no difference in the product from its producer; because it is certain, that the work must be as perfect as its author (so says the _Sruti_:—_Púrnat púrnam_ &c.). 28. But there is nothing as a cause and effect to be found in this creation, because the three worlds are but the prototypes of the archetype of the divine mind. 29. The world is stretched out in the model of the Divine mind, and not formed by any other holy spirit. It is as immanent in the mind of God, as fluidity is inherent in water. 30. It is the mind which spreads out this extended unreality of the world like castles in the air, and builds Utopian cities (by its imagination only). 31. There is no such thing as materiality, which is as false a conception as that of a snake in a rope. Hence it is no way possible for Brahma and other beings to exist as individual bodies. 32. Even spiritual bodies are inexistent to enlightened understandings. As for the material body, it has no room in existence. (Matter or a corporeal substance or an unseen substratum is a non-entity. Berkeley). 33. Man (_manu_) who derives his name from his mind (_mana_) is a form of the volitive soul called _Verinchi_ (Lat. _vir_—inchoare the inchoative spirit of Brahma); and has for his dominion the mental or intellectual world _mano-rajyam_ (Lat. mentis regio vel regnum) where all things are situated in the form of realities. 34. The mind is the creative Brahma called _Verinchitvas_ (Lat. Virinchoativus), by the exercise of its inherent _sankalpa_ or the volition of incipience or creation—_sisriksha_; and displays itself in the form of the visible universe by development of its own essence. 35. This _Virinchi_ or the creative power is of the form of the mind _manas_, as the mind itself is of the form of _Virinchi_ also. It has no connection with any material substance, which is a mere creation of the imagination. (That is to say, matter is an imaginary substance or substratum of qualities only). 36. All visible things are contained in the bosom of the mind, as the lotus-bud and blossom reside in the seed of the lotus. Hence there is no difference between the mental and visible appearances of things, nor has any one ever doubted of it any where.
