Vices are of weak power but the expanded vision is powerful. Vices are accidental but its essential nature is of pure root. Vices are false imaginations but its essential nature is the absence of false imagination. It is like this, friends (mārṣa), this great earth is based on water, water is supported by wind, wind is founded on space, but space is dependent on nothing. [...]”.
