Even the small ray of light, making its way through the room and marking the wall is divine. While going on with daily activities, aiming towards a goal which, we believe, will be the gate opening on "something better". What this "something better" is, we are not sure, but we seem to have convinced ourselves enough that "this" (read the present state or sense-input) is not it. For some, the "something better" is some better material condition, for some it is glory or immortality, and for others it is "spiritual bliss". But for all of the above one thing is almost certain: "this" is not the "real thing".
But how is "this" not the "real thing"? How can this be less "real" than "something else" which is not perceived and not known? A mere idea in the mind? Something we heard from someone else? Is that the "real thing"?
Why should you believe Reality, as it is presented to you, is not "real" enough to be the end itself? What real thing can there be outside of Reality? Who draws the line between the spiritual and the material, between the useful and useless, the right or wrong, the real and unreal? Who can ignore this line? What happens if you ignore this line?
