Illusion



Gauri told me about Illusion when i was in third year .As he has lost it , i went to market and bought it . I finished it in less than an hour .And it become one of my favorite book.It is very simple yet very profound. Some of my favorite quotes from Illusion are :


  • Learning is finding out what you already know. Doing is demonstrating that you know it. Teaching is reminding others that they know just as well as you. You are all learners, doers, and teachers.
  • Your only obligation in any lifetime is to be true to yourself. Being true to anyone else or anything else is not only impossible, but the mark of a false messiah.
  • A cloud does not know why it moves in just such a direction and at such a speed, it feels an impulsion....this is the place to go now.But the sky knows the reason and the patterns behind all clouds, and you will know, too, when you lift yourself high enough to see beyond horizons.
  • The truth you speak has no past and no future. It is, and that's all it needs to be.
  • What the caterpillar calls the end of the world, the master calls a butterfly.
  • Here is the test to find whether your mission on earth is finished. If you're alive, it isn't.
  • Everything on this list may be wrong.
