Guest guest Posted October 2, 1999 Report Share Posted October 2, 1999 To mistake the rope for a snake is the beginning of illusion. The attempt to run away from that snake, or try to destroy it, is the beginning of activity. Fear, apprehension, anger, worry, stress, and tension originate from this ignorance. Shouting that 'there is a snake, there is a snake' is the way of spreading this illusion. 'The snake is poisonous, it can't be killed, it has two mouths', such and similar adjectives further reinforce and confuse the issue. The rumour spreads like a wildfire and many even do not know why are they running. They also join in the shouting, 'there is a snake, there is a snake.' Some get busy in earning money, some in seeking name and fame, while others are terrified and become depressed and inactive. The modern day scientists try to analyze, dissect or kill the illusion, and claim to be the wisest of all.
