The Illusion called Reality

So, at one point of time the people used to believe that sun rotated around earth and each morning and every evening was due to sun’s rotation in a circle around earth.  However, later it was discovered that it was in fact earth which used to revolve around sun.

Now if that sun is an idea that keeps hitting our life time and again becoming a major reason of us becoming disturbed then is it really necessary that that idea is the reason and not us. Isn't it rather us revolving around that idea – trying to think it again and again to bring in the variations of day and night in our life to experience pains and joys. Only those nights and days vary from person to person and so dies their reaction.

Bible believed that since everything had been created for man , so earth had to be at the center of universe and everything must have rotated around. its not physical entities rather psychological objects that turns rotate around the man in the center. Even one of the beliefs of Buddhism claims that whatever we have around us is all our imagination. Nothing is real. reality is just an illusion – the Maya where man gets lost to lose sense of his self and reality. Hence form the karmic chakras and notions of life and death in the life of man.

In geeta it is written that one should do ones duties and shouldn't bother about its results. Aren't duties always with an an inherent direction. Direction of morality, peace, love or affection. One thinks about it or not, all of our actions are always given a certain course, a certain direction.

It is said that if one believes in a certain output and works towards it assuming it to be real, there is no possibility that the idea won’t turn real. whatever is deeply desired, had to turn to reality. There is no other way. Obviously. Whatever we imagine is a reality in some way. If not in physical forms, then it has its existence in the world of images. But it is real nevertheless.

So where do we lack??where do we get struck? Do we still believe that sun to be rotating around us, hampering our growth or do we know our game of day and night? Are we still under the illusion of impending fate and merely surviving through life and death waiting to meet that ultimate Godot or are we visualizing our own dream – full of possibilities and staying happy in the world of dreams?

But it is a folly to be completely lost in the world of dreams. After all it is Maya and if turned real , it would still be Maya. Becoming Siddhartha one has to attain the power to create Mohini and be strong to triumph over her.

So set out, feel that power inside, and make your own customized reality. After all, we are man and the world is so designed for our the specie of humanity. So respect life and live it to the fullest. Get indulged in everything but maintain your isolated stand.
