In plain words
“The universe is like water in a mirage, silver in nacre, a city in the clouds, a town seen in dream, blueness in the sky, a snake upon a rope, the child of a barren woman, a hare's horn, or a man imagined in a post. All appearance is mithyā; pure Awareness alone is real. My son, by my solemn word: never forget what you truly are.”
