The Tao of Sufi

"The world is an illusion; it has no real existence...For you just imagine that it (I.e., the world) is an autonomous reality quite different from and independent of the absolute Reality, while in truth it is nothing of the sort...Know that you yourself are an imagination. And everything that you perceive and say to yourself, “this is not me”, is also an imagination. So that the whole world of existence is imagination within imagination." (Toshihiko Izutsu)
