In the last part of the verse the adjuration is somewhat obvi- ous, and it must be remembered that with progress the realm of Maya constantly expands as that of Sat diminishes. In orthodox Buddhism this process continues indefinitely. There is also the resolution SAT= ASAT. 12. For mind is like a mirror; it gathers dust while it re- flects.
