Living with illusions


A girl younger to me, who even happens to be my sister messaged a few lines to me. She said, "Reality is just a shared illusion, what say you?" And by chance I had been thinking of this word for quite some days now. It is a strange word but sounds so sweet - IILUSION!

Our existence in the world is mere illusion, for our souls have been breathing in this worldly plane and are born again and again. Heavy philosophy! I know.. But the truth is that we are all a part of a cosmic conspiracy whose roots lie in just one source of energy. The energy keeps changing forms and is transformed from one being to another. Like cells we keep dividing. Yet we are so scared of death for it involves losing our identity and our existence. Just dare to think once, its actually not that difficult. A woman goes through the cycle of birth and death in her body every month, and she understands it deeply. A man does it by being a witness to it.

We all live under the impression of loving or being loved by someone. We get attached to people around and start caring for them, its all a part of the 'palace of illusions' we build around ourselves. But there is nothing to complain about it. We are happy being a part of such an arrangement.

But.. the question remains unanswered for me, what she asked me that day, Is reality too a shared illusion??
