Everything is an illusion

All we see in the world are reflections, illusions, not truths and in sum is Maya. The Vedas say. I feel at times the Vedas rightly used this term.

Today I meditated for a while and arrived at the idea that everything is a Maya or illusion.

Songs for instance seem very much true and palpable realities. Dissect a song what you will arrive at is a combination of vibrations or sound frequencies and what we call song are on the surface and on the deepest level they are simply vibrations, pitches going up and down or frequencies running.
What we call beauty is also an illusion and there is nothing called beauty other than optical illusions. Races, nationhood, economic and social factors are too forms of illusions.

Science and technologies are too illusions.

Love and sex are simply illusions.

Everything will pass.

Even the idea of God and heaven and salvation are too illusions.

For God is a name we keep for some power and powers are illusions.

At the end of the day the whole mechanism of thinking becomes an illusion.
