Myth And Reality Or Reel Life And Real Life Poem by Varanasi Ramabrahmam

In the movie appearing on the screen
We rejoice or feel sad with the characters

By viewing the illusion
Created by virtual forms
Taking myth to be reality
Reel life is experienced as real life;

When are told that the same
Is happening in reacting to
The appearances on our mental screen
As thoughts, feelings, experiences, etc.,
The mere unreal projections of our mind,

And the reality
That our actual identity is peace, bliss and silence,

We dismiss it as mere philosophy;
That is the power of myth over reality.
