46. Maya (Illusion) – A scientific explanation.

Which is real? Which is dream? Which is imagination?

• Do you know the truth that your brain does not possess the capacity to distinguish between the above?

Neurologists are able to read the functioning of your brain.

From the information obtained from the brain, it can be said precisely right up to which particular type of feeling you were having at a particular minute.

In reality you see a child...

In the night, in your dream, you see the same child...

While in the waking state, you see the same child in imagination.

-- In all the above three cases, the signals given out by the brain are all similar.

From the signals of the brain, it cannot be distinguished as to which is real, which is dream, and which is imagination. For the brain, all the three appear to be the same.

That is, the brain functions as though 'all the three are real' or 'all the three are maya (illusion)'.
