Everybody operates from same motivations: 1) To fulfill their desires 2) To escape their sufferings. DO WE LIVE MOST OF OUR LIFE IMAGINARY?

dear arinjay, always having interesting things to discuss,,, yes , we live in imaginary world but think that we are much practical, others are living in fake/ imaginary world. sir, living in the world of brands is all together an imaginary world, just think for a moment that we have brands in our pockets, visa cards , brands in our stomachs , fried chickens, brands in our ears, head phones,,,, lot of brands in our bed rooms,,, is this the real world ? can brands give us real happines???

Very intelligent way of puttin a wide array of different motivators under two common groupings. Thank you.

As for our lives, we know the past, not only for ourselves, and try to learn from it. We imagine the future based on our knowledge of the past and other future expectations. We use the current to realize our imaginations.

Let's be  realistic in our personal life and professional you should hope get better life , we don't know what's waiting for us in the morning, or even an hour after so we should be patient and waiting for the gaps to take advantage of them

Enlightened souls have exhaustively discussed the phenomenon of Desire and its ill effects. All desires are for happiness. That is the goal of the desire. But how often our desires lead us to the goal of happiness? Desire actually makes you live in the future! The nature of desire is such that it does not allow you to be happy now, in the moment. It simply means tomorrow and not now. But joy is never tomorrow , it is always now. Desire appears to lead you to happiness but in fact it cannot. That is why desire is MAYA or the illusion

Dear Mr. Dadhich, you have asked a question that ordinary persons like me find it very difficult to answer.  

Enlightened souls have exhaustively discussed the phenomenon of Desire and its ill effects. All desires are for happiness. That is the goal of the desire. But how often our desires lead us to the goal of happiness? Desire actually makes you live in the future! The nature of desire is such that it does not allow you to be happy now, in the moment. It simply means tomorrow and not now. But joy is never tomorrow , it is always now. Desire appears to lead you to happiness but in fact it cannot. That is why desire is MAYA or the illusion

When one is under illusion it leads to misery, stress, sorrow and suffering.

Sri Sri Ravishankar  has beautifully described Maya

Quote

When something is unbelievably beautiful or joyful, you wonder if it is a dream. Often what you perceive as reality is not joyful ,so when  misery is there , you will never wonder if it is a dream. You are sure it is real. This is knowing the real as unreal and unreal as real. Infact all the miseries are unreal. A wise man knows that happiness is real, as it is your very nature. Unhappiness is unreal because it is inflicted by memory. When you see everything as a dream, then you abide in your true nature. A nightmare is a dream mistaken for reality. There is no confusion in a dream at all. Keep wondering whether all this is a dream and you will wake up to the real.

Illusion is an error of perception and knowing illusion is illusion is knowledge. Our experience of world is based on perception. Since every perception is erroneous , the world is an illusion”

Desire, action and awareness of the self are all manifestations of the same energy that is you. Among the three –desire, action, and awareness – one dominates at any one time. When desire dominates self awareness is at the lowest and stress and sorrow result. When action dominates, restlessness and disease are the result. When awareness dominates, happiness dawns.

When one contemplates on the above aspect of desires, happiness, action, illusion and  misery self awareness, it appears we all struggle to live and that too an imaginary life. Self awareness is of paramount importance that could take one on the path of divinity and a blissful life.

 I like the spontanous response of Mr. Mohammad Tohamy Hussein.
