Illusion Poem by Tushar Ray

Let's not be fooled by mere appearance
Let us go all the way to the Truth
Cutting through layers of illusion
So blissfully we may live by the Truth!

The Ultimate reality pervades this universe
Only covered by the layers of Maya
As stacks of cloud cover the brilliant sun
Or train of waves covers an ocean

Our own mind makes the covering stuff
Our desire fueling the power behind
While our ignorant ego is the sole enjoyer
To enjoy its status as a naïve spider

The spider builds its web out of its body
Using it as a tool for own survival
Creating delusion for trapped insects
And enjoy the trap hiding in middle

Let's be aware, we're as powerful as sun
As my spirit-self also lights up the sun!
So fleeting mind is no match for my soul
Let's boldly face all to destroy illusion
