One can
tell whether it is an illusion by or not by looking at the effects. For example,
if you slam a brick on a wall, you will not see any effect on the brick or the
wall if the world were an illusion. But it is not an illusion because you will
see a red mark on the wall and the brick will be broken also. Another example is
if someone tells you, ‘ you have no sense’ and it has no effect on you, then
it would prove that the world is an illusion. But instead what happens is that
the effect of such a statement will be there even when you wake up in the middle
of the night and remember what was said to you. This proves that the world is
not an illusion. I am saying that the world and the Soul (the Self) are both
true. The world is a relative truth and the Self
is the real truth. My words are eternal truth. There is no telling when the
relative truth of this world would become untrue. All these relatives are
temporary adjustments and the Self is the real truth, it is eternal, it is
permanent. |
