What If The Life You Are Living Is An Illusion?

Are you worried about where you are heading in life?

Are you thinking about whether your choices are right or wrong in life?

What if one day you realise whatever you worked on till now is not what you thought it was? — It is something unimaginable, right?

Yes, when you face the absolute truth, you will experience one of the two situations. You either feel delighted on cloud nine, or your world might fall upside down.

I am not trying to scare you but attempting to show you the other possibility. — The possibility which you have avoided till now in your life.

Is Our Life A Maya? | An Illusion?

Have you ever read Bhagavat Gita? In Gita, they mentioned that the life we live is an illusion. Is it the truth? And if it is so, is there an absolute truth that is beyond your understanding?

You might be thinking I am going towards spiritual talks. I don’t know that stuff much, and some people are already speaking in that sphere.

As you are also not a spiritual guy like me, let’s focus on non-spiritual stuff.

We come into the world with nothing and take everything from others.

We take:

  1. Name
  2. Knowledge — From the surroundings.
  3. Experiences — Through interactions with the world.
  4. Mindset — Collection of experiences forms fixed thinking patterns. We call it the mindset.

What if any of those turn out to be wrong? Something which is not in inclination with your aspirations? It is the biggest fear of anyone.

Some Illusions in Life Which Everyone Faced

  1. If you don’t eat, the devil will come and take you. — That devil will never come.
  2. If you study well and score good marks in board exams, your life will be settled series. — Yes, it is a never-ending series to comfort you regarding college, graduation for a few Post Graduation, PhD is also there.
  3. If you get a good high paying job, your life will be settled. I can’t stop myself from mentioning this. — Good and high paying jobs are a rare combination which one in the Millenium will get.

If we talk about boys and girls, we get many more examples. At what age have you realised they are all wrong?

Let’s keep the small stuff aside and focus on the major ones like higher education or job stuff. [There are many but let’s stick with basic things]

Let’s say everything you focused on till now turned out to be wrong. What would you do? We focus on the same in the next section.

What If Your Core Beliefs Turned Out To Be Wrong?

Let me be frank with you. Nothing changes, absolutely nothing changes unless you take action towards your latest realisation.

But, by the time you realise, you may feel it is too late. But it is never too late or too early.

Every piece in your life counts, and it is for preparing you for a life in your dreams. It is possible when you take the lessons from your mistakes and evolve.

Final Thoughts

In this 21st century, many are living a life based on wrong beliefs. One of them is going for a job is the best option to fulfil dreams. I mean no offence to employees. I have immense respect for them.

Many felt it was better to be their boss than to be an employee. —And they changed the course of life. Some of them succeeded as well. — For Eg, Colonel Sanders.

So, it is never too late to walk on the right path though for everyone it won’t make sense. Just focus on making the person in the mirror happy.

What are the biggest lies you were told?
