14. Here, the tree of transmigration (saṃsāra) does not arise from the womb of the unreal ego-seed (ahaṅtva), once it has been consumed by the great fire of knowledge (bodha). This applies whether one's body has not acquired the sense of 'I-ness' (ahaṅtva) through contemplation, or whether one's form is merely the expanse of consciousness, or even if one possesses an elevated body.
