It is all a magic show

This world, says Guru Nanak, is a sleight of hand from the great magician.

It is all a magic show with no reality in it. We are living in a grand delusion where things are not what they seem to be. This magic show begins from our body.

We consider the body as the be-all and end-all of human existence. We never for a moment think that there is some Motor-Power behind us.

When once this Power withdraws from the body, the whole play comes to an end.

All of us are taken in by this empty show. Kabir tells us: "When a juggler juggles about, people come around to see the play."
