65. Within the essential nature (ātman) of consciousness, which is pure and clear like the space of the sky, this sequence of creation that constantly appears is, in truth, merely an inner heat, like warmth. Therefore, the perception of difference (bheda) does not actually exist. Only the infinite (ananta) reality (sat) truly exists.
