Quote by Buddha
This life of separateness may be compared to a dream, a phantasm, a bubble, a shadow, a drop of dew, a flash of lightning.
Summary
This quote suggests that the experience of living in a state of individuality and separation is transient and illusory. It compares this condition to various ephemeral phenomena, such as a dream, a bubble, a shadow, a drop of dew, and a flash of lightning. The underlying idea is that our perception of being separate entities is fleeting and unsubstantial, highlighting the impermanence and insubstantial nature of our existence. It encourages contemplation on the true nature of reality beyond the illusory barriers of separateness.
