Manmade Illusion

53 Manmade illusion Radhanath SwamiMany times people visit amusement parks, stand in lines and pay so much money just to see a robotically-animated historical personality deliver a speech.

Why do people stand in a line? All around them are so many people blinking their eyes, moving their hands and speaking. What’s going on inside in the animatronics theater with a robot of a historical figure speaking or moving is also going on outside all around them. But people are just so bored to death outside with other people around them that they go to visit an animatronics show to see the same things.

The statue inside may be programmed to move and even speak, but it cannot think and feel.
Thousands of people all over are doing everything that the statue does—and doing it millions of times better, and with thoughts and feelings. God has created all these real people, but we won’t pay a single dollar for having seen them. We will stand in a line for seven hours and pay so much money just to see a manmade statue that blinks its eyes. It is just an illusion.

God is creating so many miracles before our eyes for our pleasure and our learning. But we ignore them.

– Radhanath Swami

  1. It is an irony that people are so attached to illusion and are always running away from reality. Following spiritual path gives us hope and courage for the beautiful reality waiting for us. Unlike illusion the reality is very pleasing to our soul. Thank you Radhanath Swami for always being there with us and showing the right example to follow in our lives.

  2. Yes. If we lived our life following these wonderful teachings, then so much more can be done to make our life better. Thank you swami Radhanath for your wonderful blog

  3. ‘God is creating so many miracles before our eyes for our pleasure and our learning. But we ignore them.’ -HH Radhanath Maharaj Ji has given such a deep realization through this article. Thank you so much Maharaj Ji.

  4. This is indeed a very deep realization. Everyone of us become so bewildered after seeing the glamour of outside world that we forget even our own self. Constant association of devotees, hearing and listening can only save us from Maya and keep us stable in KC. Thanks for sharing.

  5. Very true. We should try to appreciate God’s creation. All glories to HH Radhanatha Swami Maharaja.

  6. Ha Ha Ha. So true. Paying for something which we see all around us whether we want it or not

  11. Only elevated devotees can really see
    -action in inaction and inaction in materialists action-
    God is creating so many miracles before our eyes for our pleasure and our learning.

  12. God has created all these real people, but we won’t pay a single dollar for having seen them. We will stand in a line for seven hours and pay so much money just to see a manmade statue that blinks its eyes. It is just an illusion. So nicely explained by Radhanath Swami Maharaj !

  13. Very true as Radhanth swami is saying here, we often ignore the miracles created by almighty GOD because it is so much a part of our life. But i think we must be grateful the GOD for all miracles He is doing and praise Him.

  14. very good lesson to be learn from these article. thanx for posting.

  15. We can overcome the manmade illusions only through the association of saintly people like Radhanath Swami who are fully realized souls & pure devotees of God.

  17. ‘God is creating so many miracles before our eyes for our pleasure and our learning. But we ignore them.’- it is so true. We are so habitual to see the miracles of God that we simply ignore them and at times we don’t even recognize them.
