““When the ego rises, then all the world comes into being; when the ego is not,

"The teaching conveyed here should be considered along with that conveyed in

another passage quoted in the last chapter. There the Sage told us that the

plurality of selves appearing to us in ignorance is an illusion, and that this

plurality would cease to be seen when the ego is extinguished by the Quest.

ego, and is nothing but the ego. ....”
