The illusory sprout is born of the illusory seed.

 It is soul, alone that appears to be born, to move, or to take the form of matter. However, this soul is really ever unborn, immovable and free from the traits of materiality; it is all peace and non-dual.
 

 Thus, the soul, the innermost self is never subject to birth. All beings, too, are free from birth. Those who know this do not fall into false knowledge.
 

A substance may be the cause of another substance and a non-substance, the cause of another non-substance. However, the soul cannot possibly be anything like a substance or a non- substance.
 

Thus, appearances (three states) are not caused by the soul, nor is the soul caused by them. Hence, Gnanis hold to the principle of absolute non-creation.
 

 As long as a person clings to the belief in causality, he will find cause producing effect. However, when this attachment to causality wears away, cause and effect become non-existent.
 

As long as a person clings to the belief in causality, waking will continue to real for him. However, when this attachment to causality wears away, waking becomes non-existent reality.
 

The three states are created by false knowledge; therefore, nothing in it is eternal. Everything, again, as one with Ultimate Reality, is unborn; therefore, there is no such thing as destruction.
Birth is ascribed to the individual; but such birth is not possible from the standpoint of soul, the innermost   is reality. Their birth is like that of an illusory object. That illusion, again, does not exist.
 

The illusory sprout is born of the illusory seed. This illusory sprout is neither permanent nor destructible. The same applies to the individual.
