Illusion- a word not very often thought of everyday but surprisingly associated with us inherently in every moment of our life.A mirage in a desert , a daydream of a person madly in love,a moving 3D picture...bla bla bla fascinating kind of examples that may strike for illusion.On the contrary illusion creeps along in our daily routine. The interpretations from our soul experiences and perceptions are at times illusions.The relationships what we assume to be one may not be the same in fact , again an illusion.Our state of being we believe we are in may be an illusion.May be I am making it more complicated with silly statements.Well I'll try to justify them.
Say I decided not to call my mom myself until she calls me.She doesn't call for a week or so.Well I admit may be my thoughts bring out the assumptions like-"Oh! for god's sake why doesn't she call at all?In fact does she think of me when I am away at hostel?Okay may be she is busy with her work but that doesn't mean she can't spare a couple of minutes to talk to me." Lets see the situation from my mom's side."Why hasn't my daughter called? May be she is working hard with her studies and all and not getting time.I had an awful time at my office these days.May be I shouldn't mess up her mind with my troubles by telling her." So,there is this situation that my mom hasn't called me and I did experience it, but my interpretation from it is completely untrue- simply an illusion.
A girl talks to a guy quite a few times out of obligation and doesn't actually like him even as a friend. There may be a few people who have seen them sitting together and talking twice or thrice and then they come to this stupid conclusion like may be they are very good friends, may be they are committed..bla bla bla...In this case you have seen with their very eyes about their intimacy but their observation is the opposite of reality- again an illusion.
Consider this situation...do not read the brackets first.
Suppose you have a very close friend and both of you spend a good time together. Suddenly or gradually the time she spends with you may decrease. One day you ask her something and she goes away abruptly talking on phone(it may be a very important call & later she forgets to come back to you). Then again on some other day you ask her to explain a topic in which she is good at and she says she is very tired and not in a mood to explain(she may have worked very hard that day and got tired). There comes another day when she goes out to a movie or restaurant and with another class mate who is not very close to her without inviting you(she didn't have a choice and she did not like mentioning it to you as you may feel bad). May be she doesn't explain any of these and you begin to feel that she is avoiding you for some reason or your intimacy reduced. Obviously she had reasons for everything and only they are left as unspoken explanations which led to your illusions.....
All these examples of mine are tiny for the word illusions. As Lord Sri krishna said " The world is filled with Maya(illusion)" everything we see, we hear and we interpret may be neither a lie nor it is true. One thing can be said. Perceptions should not always be illusions i.e; illusions should not conquer our perceptions if we are to keep our relations and situations at their good.
