4. Divine Intelligence also is a pure entity, which is manifest in the selfsame spirit; the same is said to be the world, and this most certain truth of truths. (Because Omniscience includes in it the knowledge of all things; which is the true meaning of the text [Sanskrit: sarvam khalvidam brahma] all this verily Brahma or full of the intelligence of God). 5. There are no material things, nor the five elements of matter any where; all these are mere unrealities, and yet they are perceived by us, like the false appearance in our dream. 6. As a city and its various sights, appear very clear to the mind in our sleeping dreams; so it is very pleasant to see the dream like world, shining so brightly before our sight in our waking hours. 7. I am of the nature of my vacuous intellect, and so is this world of the same nature also; and thus I find myself and this world, to be of the same nature, as a dull and insensible stone. 8. Hence the world appears as a shining jewel, both at its first creation, as well as in all its _kalpánta_ or subsequent formations (because it shines always with the effulgence of the Divine Intellect). 9. Whether the body be something or nothing in its essence, its want of pain and happiness of the mind, is the form of its state of _moksha_ or liberation; and its rest with a peaceful mind and pure nature, is reckoned its highest state of bliss. CHAPTER CV. LIKENESS OF WAKING AND SLEEPING DREAMS. Argument:—The Identity of the Intellect by day and night, proves the sameness of its day and night dreams. Vasishtha continued:—The Intellect conceives the form of the world, of its own intrinsic nature; and fancies itself in that very form, as it were in a dream. (The subjective Intellect, sees itself in the form of the objective world). 2. It feigns itself as asleep while it is waking, and views the world either as a solid stone, or as a void as the empty air. 3. The world is compared to a dream, exhibiting a country embellished with a great many cities; and as is no reality in the objects of dream, so there is no actuality in any thing appearing in this world. 4. All the three worlds are as unreal, as the various sights in a dream; and they are but day dreams to us even when we are awake. (The Intelligent dream by day light, as the ignorant do in the shade of night). 5. Whether in waking or sleeping, there is nothing named as the world (or the turning sphere); it is but the empty void, and at best but an air-drawn picture in the hollow of the Intellects. 6. It is a wondrous display of the Intellect in its own hollowness, like the array of hills and mountains in the midway firmament; the sense of the world is as a waking dream in the minds of the wise. 7. This world is nothing in its substance, nor is it any thing of the form of Intellect; it is but a reflexion of the Intellect, and the vacuity of the intellectual world, is but an empty nothing.
