Illusion

Many are the kinds of seeds sown:
As ripens the fruit, again is left the Sole Supreme Being.
Into thousands of pitchers falls reflection of the one sky;
As the pitcher is broken, the sole Light remains.
While thoughts of maya last, doubt, avarice, and attachment are found;
When illusion is lifted, only the Sole Supreme Being is left.

Adi Granth

*
The life of this world is but comfort of illusion.

Quran 3.185

The world illusion, maya, is individually called avidya, literally, ''not-knowledge'', ignorance, delusion. Maya or avidya can never be destroyed through intellectual conviction or analysis, but solely through attaining the interior state of nirbikalpa samadhi.

Paramhansa Yogananda

*
There is an objective reality out there, but we view it through the spectacles of our beliefs, attitudes, and values.

David G Myers

*
Nothing exists except atoms and empty space; everything else is opinion.

Democritus

*
The human understanding is like a false mirror, which, receiving rays irregularly, distorts and discolors the nature of things by mingling its own nature with it.

Francis Bacon
