ILLUSION

Meher Baba

 
Illusion is the basis of the juggler's tricks. Through Maya, the world, which is no more substantial than a mirage, appears to be real. Children admire the juggler and they think that his tricks are realities; but adults know that he is a trickster and that his tricks are illusion. Ignorant men regard the world as the ultimate reality, but Dnyanis [possessors of spiritual knowledge] know that it is only illusion.
