THUS SPAKE RAMANA - 74

 

Illusion is itself illusory. Illusion must be seen by one beyond it. Can such

a seer be subject to illusion? Can he then speak of degrees of illusion? There

are scenes floating on the screen in a cinema show. Fire appears to burn

buildings to ashes. Water seems to wreck vessels. But the screen on which the

pictures were projected remains un-scorched and dry. Why? Because the pictures

were unreal and the screen real. Again, reflections pass through a mirror; but

the mirror is not in any way affected by the quality or quantity of reflections

on it. So the world is a phenomenon in the single Reality which is not affected

in any manner. Reality is only one.
