Sri Ramana Maharshi
A visitor asked: The illustration of the mirror relates to the sense of sight only. The world is perceived by the other senses also. Can the unreality be established in relation to the other senses as well?
M.: A figure on the screen in the cinema show appears to watch the whole world. What is the reality behind the subject and the object in the same show? An illusory being watches an illusory world.
D.: But I am the witness of the show.
M.: Certainly you are. You and the world are as real as the cinema figure and the cinema world.
