What we perceive with our physical eyes or senses is not the reality. That is an illusion. Reality cannot be seen with our physical senses. Reality exists beyond our physical senses. To conceive the reality we have to go beyond the trap of physical senses. That can be attained by profound discovery.
With our physical eyes, it appears that the earth is stable and the sun is revolving the earth, now, we know that it is not true. It is just an illusion of our eyes. In fact, the sun is stable and the earth is continuously revolving the sun. The reality of the rotating behaviour of the sun and the earth came into our notice by intense discovery.
We are so stupefied by our senses that whatever is told which is beyond the perception of our physical senses, we do not accept that easily. We revolt. When an Italian astronomer Galileo first time told about the reality of the movement of the sun and earth on the basis of his discovery, he was incarcerated. That was beyond the understanding and faith of the common people of that time. Now after discovery and evidence, we accept this fact.
We see the earth is flat, but it is not the reality. On discovery, it was found that the earth is not flat, it is round. The earth appears stable with our physical eyes, but this is not the reality. The earth rotates on its axis at an amazing speed of 1600 km/hr.
What we perceive with our physical senses that becomes the reality for us. And on the basis of that reality, which is nothing but an illusion, we create our world. And when our created world does not behave the way we want, we bewilder and declare that there is nothing but suffering all around.
And the person who creates his world on the basis of his discovery, not on the basis of the elusive perception of senses, never falls in the trap of the delusive net of the world.
Anything that we see is not the reality. That is Maya. And the reality is covered under this Maya. If you want to know the reality of anything, you have to go beyond the curtain of Maya. You have to accept that what you see is not the reality, and then break the shell of Maya and discover the reality.
Once Albert Einstein said – “What we see with our physical eyes is not the reality, what we cannot see with our physical eyes is the reality.”
It may be with any person, things or thought, or it may be about us. What we see is not the reality – those are nothing but the different kinds of notions and assumptions. This world appears the same but the different people perceive it differently. The way you see and think - this world appears to you. But none of the perceptions is the reality.
The reality does not appear just by the direct perception with our physical eyes, but by the deep discovery of it.
Even we do not know about our true personality, we just carry the different notion and assumption about us. That is the reason – our mood fluctuates on the comments of others. If someone praises us we feel uplifted, and in case of criticism, we feel downtrodden.
If you know the reality of your existence, you would remain the same person whether someone praises you or insults you. What makes the difference for you…! If you do not know about you, you will be driven by the external forces. You can know the reality of your personality and existence only after an immense discovery about yourselves. When you discover and know about who actually you are – then nothing can bother or disturb you.
Do not believe anyone or anything blindly whether it is about you or others, that would be pernicious for you, that would push you in the mire of miseries, just discover it and go to the base of the reality to affirm your true existence in this elusive world.
