61. When there is no difference in the thing or it is only fancied under the force of Avidya, the mistake of identifying may arise through similarity between successive perceptions; but it is only of that duration, *i.e.*, it lasts till ignorance is broken up; the significance of the Sastra in the form of injunctions and prohibitions is like that of the distinction between wakefulness and sleep perceived in the course of a dream.

S. Subba Rau 1928, The Srimad Bhagavatam
