When our mind appears, the world appears along with it. The appearanceof the world depends upon the appearance of our mind. But our mind cannotstand alone without a world. Whenever our mind appears, it does so byattaching itself to a physical body, which it mistakes to be itself. The bodywhich we mistake to be ourself is a part of the world, but due to ouridentification of that one particular body as ‘I’, we create an artificialdistinction between what we imagine to be ourself and what we imagine tobe other than ourself.This false distinction is created by our mind, but without it our mindcannot stand. Though the world is its own imaginary creation, our mindcannot imagine a world without simultaneously imagining itself to be aparticular body in that world.
