Sloka 7

TRUTH  REVEALED Although the world and the knowledge thereof rise and set together, it is by knowledge alone that the world is made apparent. That Perfection, wherein the world and knowledge thereof rise and set, and which shines without rising and setting, is alone the Reality.

THE FORTY ON EXISTENCE The world and its perceiver therefore rise And fade together, for the world`s no more Than something we perceive. Where they arise, The point in which they sink, this is the core, From disappearance and apperance free. `Tis ever Conscious, Perfect. Absolute.

REVELATION The two, the universe and the mind, arise and set as one; yet this inert universe is lighted up by the mind alone; know that that sole,unborn, Infinite Being whose nature is Pure Consciousness, and in which the two (the universe and the mind)  arise and set, but which Itself neither rises nor sets, is alone Real.

SYNOPSIS : Since it is knowledge  that illumines the world,the former is ulterior to the latter. The knowledge is alone real which ever remains changeless.
