COMMENTARY

In the dream state and in the state of reverie and hypnotic suggestion there are no external objects like jar, etc., and all experiences therein and different ideas are caused merely by one’s own consciousness, and not by anything really outward to the person dreaming, so also it may be in the waking state. This view is not possible, because the ideas of the dreaming state are different from those of the waking. The objects of the dream state have not the same characteristics as those of the waking state. The objects perceived in dream are memories of waking experiences. In the waking state they are perceptions and not memories. The objects in the dreaming states instantly change their forms and are found to be unreal, as soon as a man awakes from sleep. In other words, the dream objects are sublated by waking consciousness. On the other hand, the objects perceived in the waking state do not change so instantaneously. Even after hundreds of years, they will have the same appearance as now. Moreover, we never have the consciousness of their being unreal. They are never sublated. True, we have said above, that things perceived in dream are mere memories, but this is only a partial statement of fact. The true opinion of Badarayana is that the supreme Lord really creates objects in the dream state, and makes the soul experience them. They are, therefore, also real, only the difference is that the Lord creates thorn for a temporary purpose and for a particular soul only; while the external world He has created for all souls and for the Cosmic period, and given them greater fixity. This opinion will be fully expounded in the Sutra III., 2. 1., where he will show that all dream objects are also creations of the Lord and not of the soul.

The author now refutes the view that manifoldness of ideas can be explained by the manifoldness of Vasanas without the assumption of external objects.
