नासतो विद्यते भावो नाभावो विद्यते सतः ।
उभयोरपि दृष्टोऽन्तस्त्वनयोस्तत्त्वदर्शिभिः ।। २-१६ ।।

nāsato vidyate bhāvo nābhāvo vidyate sataḥ ।
ubhayor-api dṛṣṭo'ntas-tvanayos-tattva-darśibhiḥ ।। 2.16 ।।

The unreal has no expression at all. The real
will never cease to be too. By the experts in the
knowledge of Truth, the difference between the two
(the Real and the Unreal) has clearly been known,
ascertained.

Note: Apply this norm to the world around. Being
changeful, it is not real. At the same time, it is present
before us, not absent. So it is not unreal too. Hence it
becomes a mere illusion, maya. Like darkness, when
examined with light, disappears, the world when analysed
experientially, ceases to be. Mind alone is. World is its
display, like dream.
