The wise have observed, in the rope and snake and similar cases, that what is superimposed is not different from its ground. Distinction lives only by error.
विद्वानों ने रस्सी-साँप आदि में देखा है कि आरोपित वस्तु अपने अधिष्ठान से भिन्न नहीं होती। भेद केवल भ्रम के सहारे जीता है।

A false picture survives only as long as we don't look closely. Patient, honest examination is how many illusions, including illusions about ourselves, fall away.
झूठी तस्वीर तभी तक टिकती है जब तक हम ध्यान से नहीं देखते। धैर्य और ईमानदारी से परखने पर बहुत-से भ्रम, अपने बारे में भ्रम भी, छूट जाते हैं।
The guru, continuing his teaching to the disciple, says the wise have seen in the rope-snake example that what is superimposed is not other than its ground; distinction lives only on error.
