The things which you are seeing around you is because of your mental conditioning. In other words, you are living your dream right now. The people around you have similar conditioning hence you have met each other in this physical plane. This is merely an accidental circumstance. Then you start having relationships with these people and start calling my wife, my children, my friends, my wealth, my house etc etc. Mind creates reality and this reality is no more real than a dream city. That which didn't exit in the beginning, that which don't exist at the end doesn't exist in the middle whatsoever, no matter how solid the reality is. Mental conditioning is like a hypnotic state where you hallucinate and experience unreal as real and real as unreal. Therefore, de-hypnotize yourself and see the things as they are. He/she is an emperor of emperors who has conquered his/her own mind. I will salute that Mind as the supreme mind. All other minds are demons in a human form. What is Samsara? Samsara is a Sanskrit word which literally means "repetitive history." In this vast world-appearance you are experiencing your endless desires. A thought is created in the mind and the mind seeks to fulfill that desire. If that desire is fulfilled in this lifetime, the mind enjoys it and runs after another desire but if that desire is not fulfilled it becomes your "vasanas" (impressions) and is stored in your citta (subconscious mind). These innumerable vasanas are the seed of your birth and death in various bodies in various time-space relation. Your mind seeks appropriate body to fulfill your vasanas. Therefore, next time when you entertain a thought, think twice. This is an endless cycle unless you start enquiring in the real nature of this existence. How many times you want to enjoy sex? Don't be the slave of your senses. Instead control these senses through right enquiry and self-control. De-hypnotize yourself and be free. Life is bliss.
