WHAT IS THE REALITY?

Posted by Teachings of Swami Sivananda on July 16, 2012 at 7:00pm

That which does not exist in the beginning and in the end, does not really exist in the middle also; it is therefore unreal.
The snake that is seen in the rope at night does not exist when a lamp is brought. It appears in the middle only. Such is the case with silver in the mother-of-pearl, water in the mirage, and city in the clouds. Therefore, they are unreal even though they appear. The dream objects also do not exist in the daytime. Similarly, the objects of this world appear only in the middle; hence they are unreal.

From "Daily Sayings" by Swami Sivananda (1987-1963). More Informations on Swami Sivananda: on the Website of Divine Life Society, Photographs of Swami Sivananda, German Pages on Swami Sivananda
