Ashtavakra Gita Verse 2.10
मत्तो विनिर्गतं विश्वं मय्येव लयमेष्यति। मृदि कुम्भो जले वीचिः कनके कटकं यथा॥१०॥
10. Just as the pot dissolves into clay, the wave into water or the bangle into gold, so the universe which has streamed forth from Me will attain dissolution in Me.
When the ghost appears or when the ghost disappears, it cannot be said that the illusory ghost had reached the post from any distant definite point in space, nor that the ghost has gone to any destination in space. It is a delusion and as such it exists only in the imagination of the observer. In fact, the ghost vision that apparently rose in the post must be considered as having dissolved back again into the very same post.
Janaka, numbed with his own sense of wonderment, continues to verbalise what has happened to him and how his vision of the universe has ended. Just as the effect merges back into its cause, similarly the illusion of the subject-object world has, in him, re-entered to become one with the Self.
