Meaning
The commentary: the logicians skilled in finding flaws such as 'unproven' and 'contradictory' can harm nothing, because the world, like a dream, has no substance to be harmed. Until the thing to be proven is reached, the illustration and the reason belong to the world of practical truth, and work there.
