Sage Vasishtha
When there is absence of egoism, there is no confusion in the mind when that mind functions naturally. Just as waves rise and fall in the ocean, the worlds arise and vanish: this deludes the ignorant, but not the wise. The space in a pot does not come into being when the pot is brought in, nor is it destroyed when the pot is broken: he who knows that such is the relationship between his body (pot) and the self (space) is not influenced by praise and censure.
This glamorous world-appearance haunts one only as long as one does not engage oneself in enquiry into the nature of the Self. When wisdom arises, delusion sets.
