These trees
were not here a few days ago,
and they shall not be here after a few years.
We
were not here a few years ago
and we will not be here after a few years.
So, it is a long dream. In the night the dream persists for sixty or seventy years. But just the duration of time cannot make much of a difference... Whether a dream is of one hour
or one hundred years
does not make much difference;
the difference is only of duration but -
it disappears.
How many people have lived on earth, do you know? Where are they? If they had not existed, what difference would it have made? Whether they existed or not does not make much difference;
they have all
disappeared.
That which appears and disappears is the dream.
Thus, the ancient, Saraha said:
Yet with certainty
must all things be viewed
as if they were a magic spell...
must all things be viewed
as if they were a magic spell...
