Interpretation
While it is very true that the Creator has designed His Universe such that it is shrouded with a veil of illusion, the impact on its inhabitants is always real
However, it is not necessary that all such consequences be unwelcome. They aid in the evolution of mankind
Mankutimma, as you progress through life, you will have many aspirations…many memories…the feelings that these generate within you are very much real & often will inspire you to perform in a way that would not have been possible in their absence. So, never discount the role of these very real feelings – they are critical parts of the big jigsaw puzzle of your life in your search for the Ultimate Truth. Without these experiences, you would never evolve as a better human being.
