marau nāstyeva salilaṃ saṃvitpaśyati tattathā |
nirmūlamantaḥsaṃtaptā svasaṃbhramavatī bhramam || 48 ||

There is no water in the sandy desert, and yet the mind thinks it sees it there; so the deluded sight of our understanding, sees the baseless objects of delusion, in the burning and barren waste of infinite void.
