This Material World Is A Big Illusion.
Apropos of my last post, a friend has asked, "Apart from the emotions, what else changes. Why change happens at all in this world?"
Well, not only do the emotions alter but too much obsession with them unfailingly brings in agonies. Excessive attachment, love for material goods and relations only engenders disappointments, disillusionment. Harbouring hatred, jealously and anger not only makes one sadistic but also prone to various dreaded maladies.
Everything is in flux in this fleeting world, my friend. Every sunshine has a sunset. Friends transform into foes and vice versa. Even one's own body transmogrifies perfidiously. Howsoever one pampers one's body with the nutritious and delicious food and cleanses it thoroughly with the most fragrant, costly soaps, it ungratefully, ultimately mingles with the dust. Behind the mask of youth, my dear, old age peeps and awaits eagerly. A politician, an opulent industrialist or anybody who has become "somebody" finally turns into a mere "body"!
With regard to the question, "Why change happens at all?", let me reveal to you the foremost characteristic of a fake. All the fakes modify incessantly. In this world all the material things, without any exception, have been reshaping continually. Is this world then a real one?
NO. I strongly believe that this world is a big hoax. Still there is no dearth of brainless who attach themselves and expect much from this deceitful world. This world is nothing but a divine play, an inscrutable web of illusion created by the Greatest Magician of all time.
Amidst all this transience, however, the "Jeeva" remains. Everything is destructible in this world except the Soul which is essentially immortal.
I would like to expound on the "Jeeva" and it's nature in my subsequent posts.
