The World - A Deception

The World - A Deception

Sri Ramana tells us that the entire world of experience is a mere shadowy illusion like a film projected on a white screen. Where are the characters of the movie before or after or even during the projection? On the screen? They simple are not. We know full well that the entire moving picture is a mere illusion. Sure, we are happily engaged with it and its characters and scenes. We cry with them and laugh with them. But most of us are content to leave them behind in the theatre and get back to our ‘real’ lives. Only few of us get so carried away by these fictional characters that we dream of them at night and, may even long to meet them and interact with them again and again in ‘real’ life as well.
