Those who believe the worldly life interactions (vyavahaar) to be the real/true; developed high blood pressure, heart attacks and other such ailments. And those who believe it to be false, they became fat. Those living on both the shores, became lost wanderers. Although living the worldly life, ‘we’ are non-attached (vitaraag, the enlightened one).Dada Bhagwan
About This Quote
When a person does not really believe that the world is real, then the person will be in a constant state of stress and worry. The person will also have a very high level of stress in their life. A person who believes in the world is in much more stress than someone who does not believe. In this quote, the author is telling us that all of the worldly things in life are nothing but a big illusion.
If we do not see these things for what they are, we will be stressed out and worried all of the time. If we see all these things as illusions, then we will be able to enjoy life and not be so stressed out about everything.
