The Real is and Unreal is not

The wise people know the difference between the real and the unreal. Everything that one can see, touch, smell, hear, taste and think about is unreal. Unreal means it is of a changing nature and not permanent. The unreal knows no existence. The real - consciousness, awareness has never been non-existent.
The seers of the truth have seen the end of these two, real and unreal.
Now what is the relevance of knowing the real and the unreal. What the mind sees, that it becomes. If it is constantly watching people, emotions, temporary situations, the mind also gets scattered with the changes in all that it sees, as Arjuna's mind was lost in the fleeting moments of the war. On the other hand, if the mind is trained to see the real, permanent existence of consciousness, it is fully available in the present moment and not subject to the vagaries of changing events and situations. Such a mind is fully available for any task to be done in the present moment as it sees the totality and becomes the total in the present. - Swahilya Shambhavi.
