106. To remain inactive forgetting the feeling "I am the body," is

sleep. In the dense ignorance of this sleep, arises a creative

imagination of the mind (mana-kalpana), and this alone is the cause

for the appearance of dream. Therefore, it is the mind alone that

projects a dream.

 

107. Similarly, in the long sleep of ignorance (ajnana), which has

engulfed us due to our forgetfulness of our true state of pure Self-

consciousness, an imagination in mind (mana-kalpana) rises

identifying a contemptible fleshy body as "I", and this alone is the

cause for the rising and appearance of this despicable waking state,

which we are now experiencing.

 

108. Just as sleep alone is the cause for the appearance of dream, so

the sleep of forgetfulness of our true Self-Knowledge is alone the

cause for the appearance of this waking state. In this long sleep of

Self-forgetfulness, many dreams in the form of countless births come

and go.
