The ‘non-apprehension of Reality’ (tamas) has no sorrows in it (deep sleep). The ‘misapprehensions that are projected by the mind’ (dream and waking) have really no sorrows in themselves. But having projected, when the mind identifies with its own imaginations, in this unholy wedlock between the mind and its projections, is born the ego and it is this ego, as the subject, that experiences the joys and sorrows of its delusory world.
