The "living being" is a world of its own, which is absolute reality for this being
1084. Living beings are thus each a little world of their own. And for each being its own world is the only existing reality. No detail whatsoever in this little world can be "illusion". It could in fact come into existence only by virtue of sensory perception. Since sensory perception is in turn the same as a feeling, and a feeling can exist only as a reaction brought about by the contact between a range of sensory perception and something that contrasts with it in some way, this contrast must have been a reality, for how could the range of sensory perception otherwise have reacted? A range of sensory perception cannot react to "nothing", but only to "something".
