दीर्घः स्वप्नः स्थितिं यातः संसाराख्यो मनोबलात् ।
असम्यग्दर्शनात्स्थाणाविव पुंस्प्रत्ययो मुधा ॥ ७ ॥

dīrghaḥ svapnaḥ sthitiṃ yātaḥ saṃsārākhyo manobalāt |
asamyagdarśanātsthāṇāviva puṃspratyayo mudhā || 7 ||

It is the long habit of thinking the unreal world as real, that makes it appear as such, to the unthinking, as a protracted sleep makes its visionary scenes appear as true to the dreaming soul. It is the want of reflection, that causes us to mistake a man in a block of wood.
