Meaning
The commentary: the splendour of the seen, many cosmic eggs set in some part of the witness-awareness like a dream, if weighed on the balance of the intellect that tells essence from what has none, becomes free of conception as a dream does in waking, and shines as the space of awareness. "Swells out as space": weighed, it turns out to weigh nothing.
