Sit quietly and look upon the world you see, and tell yourself: 2The real world is not like this. 3It has no buildings, and there are no streets where people walk alone and separately. 4There are no stores where people buy an endless list of things they do not need. 5It is not lit with artificial light, and night comes not upon it.38 6There is no day that brightens and grows dim. 7There is no loss. 8Nothing is there but shines, and shines forever. 9This world you see must be denied, for sight of it is costing you a different kind of vision.
