In the way that worldly people see things,

They conceive them as facts But not as illusionlike.

Herein lies the dispute between yogins and worldly people. [5]

L’être ordinaire pense que les objets

Qu’il perçoit sont la vérité même Et qu’ils n’ont rien d’illusoire : de là naît

Le dissentiment des contemplatifs et des êtres ordinaires.

And think they exist perfectly, Not like an illusion; therefore here

And conceive it as reality, Not as a magical apparition.
