42. Even possessing objective content (sacetyā), this (consciousness) is still precisely of the nature of the supreme ether (paramavyoma). Therefore, the knowable object (cetya) is not different from this (consciousness); just as a distinction (anyas) is prevented (vāritaḥ) by the very nature of waves (vīcitva).
42. אפילו כשהיא מלווה במחשבות ובמושאים, היא נותרת עשויה ממהות המרחב העליון. לפיכך, מושא החשיבה אינו שונה מהתודעה הטהורה, בדיוק כמו שאדווה אינה שונה מהמים שבהם היא נוצרת.

43. And the wave-nature (vīcitva) does not exist as a separate entity in water (rasa), just as a rabbit's horn does not exist at all. That (consciousness), even though appearing as if it has become the objective content, remains by its intrinsic nature (svabhāva) truly unwavering.

44. לפיכך, אין כל אובייקט נתפס כשלעצמו; מניין אם כן תצמח ההבחנה בין הרואה לבין הנראה? מיד לאחר אשליות המוות, כהרף עין, מופיעה עבור הנשמה...

53. Among those who speak plainly, even an enjoyed experience is perceived as unenjoyed by an unattached intellect. Emptiness becomes crowded, and misfortune is considered equal to festivities. Both loss and gain are similarly perceived in a consciousness resembling intoxication or a dream.
53. גם לאחר שהתנסה, מתעוררת בו התחושה שלא התנסה; עבור אלה השקועים באשליה, הריקנות נראית צפופה, הסבל נתפס כחגיגה, וההפסד נחווה כרווח – בדיוק כמו במצבי שכרות, חלום או תעתוע.

54. Just as its inherent pungency resides within a chili seed, and an unmanifested network of figures exists within pillars, so too this perceived world (dṛśyam) is indeed non-different from the unborn (reality) and is inherently peaceful. For one whose vision is the liberation (mokṣa) from the bonds of existence (saṃsāra), what (attachments or illusions) can there possibly be, and from where would they arise?
54. כשם שהחריפות שוכנת בתוך גרגיר הפלפל השחור, וכפי שלוח עץ מכיל בתוכו דמויות שטרם פוסלו, כך העולם הנגלֶה קיים בשלווה ובאופן בלתי נפרד בתוך בְּרַהְמָן הבלתי נולד. עבור תודעה טהורה זו, מניין יצמחו מושגים של קיום, כבלים או שחרור?
