' Misapprehension '...

Within the prison of your world appears a man who
tells you that the world of painful contradictions,
which you have created, is neither continuous nor
permanent and is based on a misapprehension.

He
pleads with you to get out of it, by the same way
by which you got into it.

You got into it by forgetting
what you are and you will get out of it by knowing
yourself as you are.
