Meaning
Another commentary: being the stirring of awareness as wind, it is the world, and in its own form it is nothing; being the dense black darkness of awareness, it is the world, and in its own form it is not. Even darkness is named as awareness: the dullness of things is awareness too, seen from within its own sleep.
