"The aggregate of the six senses is a dream, the world is a dream," - and so on. This is how the world appears to the Jñānī, the man of perfect knowledge, who constantly contemplates the right view (Samyakdṛṣṭi). To him, this entire world appears like a dream, like a mirage, like a city in the sky, like a reflection, like dust and ashes, like a speck of soot. This is because the state of ignorance, which is like a dream, has passed away, and he has attained the state of awakening, which is like knowledge. "When I wake up, I don't see the world, in sleep, it appears strange and unreal; the play of consciousness is like that, it hangs on to the Brahman." - Shri Narasimha Mehta.
The whole world is like a reflection, or like a dream;
That is what the Jñānī knows, the rest is just talk. - Shri Ātmasiddhi.
This world is tormented by the three fires (tapas). It runs after the water of the mirage, wanting to quench its thirst, it is miserable. Due to ignorance, it has forgotten its true nature, and has been caught in a terrible cycle of birth and death. It experiences immense sorrow, diseases like fever, fear of death, and the pain of separation, it is helpless. Only a perfect man (Sapuruṣa) can be its refuge. Without the words of a perfect man, no one can overcome these fires and thirst, this is certain. Therefore, again and again, we meditate on the feet of that man. - Shrimad Rajchandra, Letter 184.
Thus, this world evokes a very intense inner detachment in the yogi who has the right view (Samyakdṛṣṭi). Such a Jñānī is imbued with this deep feeling, because he has developed Śrutaviveka, the right understanding of the scriptures. He has attained the true knowledge of the scriptures (see Śrutaviveka, pp. 19-20). In other words, the man who has the right view (Samyakdṛṣṭi) develops Śrutaviveka from the scriptures he has heard from the perfect man, the true guru. He has attained the true knowledge of the scriptures, he has realized the true nature of things, he has understood the difference between the self and the non-self, he has experienced the clear distinction between the soul and the non-soul, he has developed the knowledge of the pure soul, he has attained the knowledge of the pure soul.
For example, "I am the pure, conscious, imperishable, eternal soul, distinct from this body and other things. This perishable body and other things are not me. Only the pure self is mine, nothing else is mine. I am not this body and other things, and this body and other things are not mine." - this is the firm conviction of his soul.
"His own nature shines forth, pure consciousness, imperishable, eternal, and beyond the body." - Ātmasiddhi.
