We too can be blessed like the Buddha if we go on a quest to realize the truth. We can overcome fear and with it all the suffering that causes us anxiety.
What is the truth? The truth is that everything in this world is an illusion, a cosmic illusion, which is known as Maya. Maya has two powers. It hides the truth and projects the myth. As it projects an illusion, we think of it as real. What is the fact? Nothing belongs to us. We come to this world empty-handed and when we go, we cannot take anything. Then why do we live with the constant fear of losing all our possessions when these do not belong to us? We come alone and we will go alone, but we are so anxious and fearful at the thought of the loss of loved ones who in reality, do not even belong to us. What causes us to believe that these relationships are permanent? It is Maya, the cosmic illusion that makes us believe and live in fear. If only we go on a quest and realize the truth, that we are the Divine Soul, not this body, mind, and ego that says, “It is me,” we will neither fear nor suffer.
Those who realize the truth know that life on earth is just a show. The Creator has produced this drama known as His Leela. We come on this earth stage, we do our part and we go. There is no need to fear. But because we do not realize the truth, we live with so much worry and anxiety.
