Meaning
The commentary: the space of awareness, contracted by the ignorance that covers it, appears quickly as the false world and experiences sorrow and the rest. As for where your husband is: in truth he is only the sheath of the space of awareness, nothing besides; so when the space of awareness is contemplated with one-pointed mind, he is seen at once, though not existing as a separate thing, and one can go there and experience him.
