8. Just as ignorant people say that the colors appearing like the clothes of the figures are real

clothes, as real as the canvas on which the picture is superimposed; in the same way, the ignorant

imagine that the transmigration of the Jiva belong to the Supreme Self (the substratum, on which
the Jivas are superimposed).
