Srimad Bhagavadgita Sadhaka Sanjivani -Swami Ramsukhdas
Chapter 15
Saint Sundaradasa declares, "We see what does not exist, but we do not see what exists." The reason is, that instruments such as, the mind, intellect and senses etc., with which we see, also do not exist. So the unreal can be seen, with the help of the unreal, the real cannot be seen, with the help of unreal.
Moreover, the unreal seems to exist, in the light of the real. The real is the illuminator, and the base, of the unreal. As we can see the world, with the eye, but we cannot see the eye with it, so how can God, Who is the knower of all, be known by them? How can the unreal, which is illumined by the real, illumine the real?
