36. If it be argued that this Universe is real, being evolved out of the Real, the argument is fallacious, being contradicted by an examination of facts and it proves too much in certain cases, and in some cases it is altogether false, nor is it true to say that the Universe is a composite of both. For such a combination does not form a real existence. Therefore illusion is admitted for the purpose of explaining the transactions of the phenomenal world. Then it must be said that the Vedic Text does in a beginningless blind tradition fills with misapprehension through its various powers, those dull-witted men who are devoted to the course of Vedic performances.
