20. The netherworld, the multitude of directions, and the atmosphere, pervading all, appear to exist as if real, even though they are inherently unreal. When the seed of the ego-sense (aham-artha) is destroyed by the fire of non-ego (anahantā), there is no re-growth for it, even of what (seemingly) exists.
