Do not take life's experiences too seriously.
For in reality they are nothing but dream experiences.
Play your part in life, but never forget that it is only a role.
All reality is virtual reality. It has no basis in real reality because there is no such thing as real reality. Nothing that appears to exist actually does exist, in any actual sense. There is no actual reality; no non-virtual reality. If it appears, it’s virtual; existing only as appearance in awareness, i.e., a dream. This is not a quirky belief but a knowable fact. That’s what the initial nondual insight tells us because that’s what nonduality means; reality is not real.

Paramahansa Yogananda (1893–1952) was an Indian yogi, mystic, and spiritual teacher best known for bringing the ancient practice of Kriya Yoga to the West. He founded the Self-Realization Fellowship (SRF) in 1920 to share his teachings globally. His autobiography, Autobiography of a Yogi (1946), became one of the most influential spiritual books of the 20th century and introduced millions to yoga, meditation, and the concept of self-realization. He passed away in Los Angeles in 1952, leaving a lasting legacy in the modern spiritual and yoga movements.
