Let us suppose for a moment, everything we see about us is a dream, an illusion and the things and people we come in contact with will no longer be there when we awake from our dream like state.
What will we do? Will we cry or laugh? Will we be happy for this experience or will we want more? Will we have sweet or bitter memories? How will these experiences prepare us for our real lives?
O spiritual traveler, give thought to this proposition; it is not very far from the Truth.

Oh you planted a seed! I will be thinking of this all day and enjoying it of course. If I were to awaken from my illusions, I’m sure I will bring happiness, laughter and sweet memories into my reality, I simply don’t have the time or energy to live any other way.
What is Real, in many ways, is what we want to be Real. Yet, beyond this- there is an ever present, timeless, Reality.
