A. When historical masters stated that we should always take away all illusions, they didn’t imply that we should always transfer them from one place to a different place out of our sight, however meant that we shouldn’t be deluded by them by realising that every one phrases and all the photographs accompanying them should not actual however imaginary or illusionary. That is why an historical grasp remarked that the phrase ‘hearth’ can’t burn your lips irrespective of what number of occasions chances are you’ll recite it, and why one other historical grasp stated, “You don’t should strive in useless to take away the horns of rabbits” when he was requested the identical query. The truth is, attempting to take away the horns of rabbits is not any aside from being deluded by illusions as a result of it’s attempting to eliminate issues that don’t exist.
Pupil: “How can I take away the illusions that block my thoughts?”
Grasp: “Your thoughts can also be an phantasm.”
