Our perception could either be our path to nirvana or an invisible cage that bottles us up.

Pawan Mishra
About This Quote

This quote by Buddhist monk, Thich Nhat Hanh, is a powerful reminder that we need to take a step back and change how we define our reality. We often believe that the things we see with our eyes are indisputable. They are real and they are what is happening around us. However, this is not always the case.

If you consider your reality objectively, you may find that your perception of the world is an illusion. Your perception may be a cage you have created, or it could be a path to nirvana if you realize that the things you see with your eyes are not always real and can sometimes be illusions.
