Just as in the middle of a desert plain a small thing seen from far away may yet seem vast in size, from just a slight attachment to a self in that which has no self, the vast hallucination of samsara manifests. When these hallucinations are investigated, they are found to be unreal.
When you understand that, just like space, they cannot be removed, just let them be, and do not cling so foolishly to this world’s real existence —this world that, like a trick of sight, appears without existing.
