You say, "Aby if the world is an illusion, why does the world seem so real? And the mind cannot deny the world? You are telling me the world is an illusion, but to me, it seems so real.
Yes. True. The dream and the waking world are both the creations of the mind, and so long as the mind is engrossed in either, it is difficult to deny the reality. For example, in a dream, your mind accepts the reality of impossible things, like talking to a dead person without questioning it. At that moment, the dream vision becomes real to you.
It is the same in the waking state. It is the same when you are operating in the world, when your mind is totally identified with the world. For you cannot doubt the reality of the world you see while you are awake. Because your mind is totally engrossed outside in the world, it is not feeling the BEING.
With all your desires, fantasies, and attachments to the world, how can you recognize the world as an illusion? Your mind will, your mind cannot do that. The waking dream of thoughts seems more real than a sleeping dream, right? Yes. How can the mind that has created the world in a waking state accept it as unreal?
How? The thing, , it created it, how, it can deny that. That's why the mind cannot deny the world. However, if one withdraws their mind from the world and goes beyond the mind, by turning within to abide in the being, he can transcend the world.
The sensations we experience in the waking world are so desirous that they attract the mind and give us the impression of reality, but this does not necessarily prove the world's objective reality. To truly understand this, one must go beyond the mind and its perceptions of the world.
Now you see, your dream may be an illusory creation, but it is real to us until we realize it is illusory. And the same goes for the waking world. To grasp this fully, one must go beyond the mind's conventional understanding of reality.
If you are an early spiritual aspirant, you need to consider the world as an illusion. Please, consider the world as an illusion. Why? For early spiritual aspirants, the journey begins with recognizing that the "world is an illusion." As you are mostly living from the mind's consciousness, going beyond the mind is essential. Now when you realize your being, for you, the world is your own being.
So it goes from world is an illusion to world is my being, a transformation achieved through going beyond the mind's limitations. Why so?
Because unless you give up the idea that the world is real, your mind will always be after it.
