“The sages have declared that things seen in dream and waking are equally unreal, because both are separate from the Self, and naught but Self is real.
Nothing real can be threatened. Nothing unreal exists.
First it is said: ‘Things seen in dream and waking are equally unreal, because both are separate from the Self, and naught, but Self is real.’
Once this understanding is on board, the next sharing is: ‘All is the Self. There is no distinction in fact, between that which is perceived and the reality which perceives.’
What remains is to live this understanding until this understanding is living itself.
