Illusions

"If you see something as rubbish, if you see that the stones that you carried all this time are not real diamonds, what are you going to do with them?  It will not take great courage or intelligence to drop them.  You were not clinging to those stones, but to the IDEA that the were diamonds.   You were clinging to your fallicy, your illusion.   Buddha has not renounced the world, he has renounced his illusions about it."  Osho
