49. The word world is used in reference to ignorant people, and the wise are not the subject of its meaning; the difference of the words ignorant and wise, consists in the one’s forming the majority of mankind and the other their lords (_i.e._ Wise men rule over the ignorant mob, who compose the world). 50. Let wise men resort to and rest at that place, where all meet in union in one self-shining unity; whether it be on the ground of the understanding of the saintly siddhas, or those of viveki sages. (This is an admonition to every one, for his reliance in one catholic religion of unity, of any nation or country). 51. No one has yet been able to ascertain the unity or duality of the real or unreal (_i.e._ of the spirit and matter) and the way to learn it, is firstly by means of the sástras, and next by association with wise and holy men. 52. The third and best means to _nirvána_ is meditation, which is arrived at one after the other; and then it will appear that the immense body of Brahma (_i.e._ the infinite spirit), takes upon it the name and nature of the living soul. 53. The world appears in various forms by the concourse of the like and unlike principles, and becomes divided into eighteen regions, by the omniscience of God that knows the past, and future. 54. Both the two things namely knowledge and dislike of the world, are attained by attainment of either of them; and the thoughts of our mind, which fly with the winds in open air, are burnt away by the fire of knowledge. 55. The worlds like flying cottons, having fled into the supreme soul, nothing is known where they are flown at last; and the gross ignorance of man is not removed by knowledge, as the dense snow is not to be melted by the fire in a painting. 56. Though the world is known to be an unfounded fallacy, yet it is hard to remove this error from the mind; but on the other hand it increases like the knowledge of ignorant men of it, by their ignorance. 57. As the knowledge of the ignorant, tends the more to increase their ignorance; so the wiseman comes to find the meaninglessness of the knowledge of ignorant people with regard to the world. 58. The existence of the three worlds, is known to us only as they are represented in our knowledge of them; they are built in vacuity as aerial cities, and stretched out before us as empty dreams in our sleep. 59. The knowledge of the world appears as false, as the conception of fanciful desires in the minds of the wise; for neither the entity of the world nor that of his self-existence, is perceptible in the understanding of the wise man. 60. There is only the existence of one supremely bright essence, which shines in our minds; which bears resemblance to pieces of wet or dry wood, in as much as they are moistened or exsiccated by the presence or absence of the divine knowledge.
