So also when the mind or consciousness (vijñāna) vibrates, the appearances are not produced from anything other than it, and when it is at rest they are not in a place other than the mind, nor do they enter into the mind. As a matter of fact they were never there. (GK. 47 ff.) Only so long as the mind is pre-occupied with the idea of causality
