Reality is merely an illusion, albeit a very persistent one.

Albert Einstein said, “Reality is merely an illusion, albeit a very persistent one”. Hinduism preaches, “Jagat (Universe) is Maya”. I agree some of us have understood that the material world is an illusion because the material is perishable and cannot be owned forever by anybody.

Let me share my views. The matter that appears to be felt by our senses is Energy. Our eyes cannot see formless Energy but can see Matter (made up of Energy). This shows Matter is an illusion/ Maya for our senses and formless Energy is reality. Thus, this Material Universe is an illusion/ Maya. We All have to accept Everything is Energy and Information.

This post is dedicated to Albert Einstein because his quote inspired it. Feel free to correct me if I need to be updated, but not Einstein.

Sir, you are complete wrong. I can prove it, if we come to a talk.
