DOCTRINE OF KARMA
from this state of dream, and that is called “superconsciousness.' It is Godconsciousness. Then it appears like a dream, but not at present. At present they are all real, and we must go on doing just as we are doing.' We cannot find the Truth here under these conditions, but the Truth is behind all these appearances. It is the background. From the Truth we have come into existence, in the Truth we live, and into the Truth we return at the time of dissolution. The whole universe is pervaded by Truth, but we do not see it." We see only the appearance of Truth. 1. सर्वावहाराणामेव प्रागब्रह्मात्मताविज्ञानात सत्यत्वोपपत्तेः। स्वप्न वाव
