A lamp was burning under a lid at one place in a
temple giving rise to a circular shade. At another place,
there was actually a jewel which created a bright halo.
Seeing the round shades, two persons ran there
shouting "jewel, jewel". The jewel cognition of both of
them was false. One who ran there thinking that there
was jewel, did not get it but he who ran considering
the lustre of the jewel, ultimately got it. The illusion
about the jewel, of the light of the lamp is disharmonious
delusion while the delusion of a jewel on the light of
the jewel is harmonious delusion.
