The World Is Real

Aum Sairam

Embodiments of Divine Love! You are engaged in various spiritual
exercises. Some call this world illusory and ephemeral. It is described
as "Maya" or "Mithya"- as illusion or delusion. This is entirely wrong.
I am Real. You are real. The whole universe is real. Consciousness is
immanent in everything. Everything is a manifestation of Brahman. When
we recognize this unity that underlies everything we shall he able to
know the nature of Divinity.

To go about describing the world as unreal, illusory and impermanent
will amount to practicing a deception on the people and not proclaiming
the truth. If the world is unreal, even the teaching that it is unreal
is equally unreal and has no meaning. No. That is not so. This Cosmos
is real. It is not a question of seeing truth within the unreal or the
unreal in the truth. It is the recognition of the Real in the
Real "Sathyamuloni Sathyamu". It is only when this basic truth is
recognized that we shall be competent to grasp the nature of our
inherent reality.

The Cosmos is real. The forms in it may change. Bodies may change. It
is the nature of bodies to undergo change. Change is the characteristic
of the evolutionary process. But what should be recognized is that at
the core of all things is a fundamental Reality. This is the triple
Principle: Asti, Bhaati, Priyam [Existing. Shining and Pleasing] or
Sat-Chit-Ananda or Satyam, Shivam, Sundaram, or Truth, Goodness and Beauty.
