Summary

This quote, attributed to Ralph Waldo Emerson, suggests that there are countless false perceptions and illusions in life, likening them to the infinite number of snowflakes in a snowstorm. It implies that as humans, we transition from one delusion or misconception to another, continuously awakening from one flawed belief only to find ourselves engaging in another. It highlights the idea that our understanding of reality is subjective and constantly evolving, reminding us to remain mindful of the illusions we may unwittingly embrace in our perception of the world.

The world' is man's experience as it appears to, and is moulded by, his ego. It is that less abundant life, which is lived according to the dictates of the insulated self. It is nature denatured by the distorting spectacles of our appetites and revulsions. It is the finite divorced from the Eternal. It is multiplicity in isolation from its non-dual Ground. It is time apprehended as one damned thing after another. It is a system of verbal categories taking the place of the fathomlessly beautiful and mysterious particulars which constitute reality. It is a notion labelled 'God'. It is the Universe equated with the words of our utilitarian vocabulary.

Nobody is ecstatic about it. It's ugly, it occupies or will occupy a piece of our property, it commits us to having it there for a long period of time. On the other hand, it would be a source of income ... and it does provide a service to the community.
