Osho — The World You Built in Sleep

You create a world around you of illusions.

You go on getting attached to things

which are not going to be with you when you die.

You go on being identified

with things which are going to be taken away from you.

Hence, the Hindus call the world “illusion.”

By “the world” they don’t mean the world that is there –

they simply mean the world that you have created out of your sleep.

That world is maya, illusion.

It is a dream world.

Only that which is eternal is true;

only that which is going to be forever and ever is true.

That which is momentary is untrue.

The momentary has to be watched

and not to be identified with.

Osho
