Some call this world real, some call it false, and others consider both views to be strong. Tulsidas says that whoever abandons all three of these illusions truly recognizes their own true self.
In this verse, Sant Tulsidas speaks about how people endlessly debate the nature of existence. Some say the world is entirely real, some call it a complete illusion, and others claim it is a mixture of both. Tulsidas gently reminds us that these arguments are merely three forms of mental confusion. True wisdom does not lie in theoretical debates. The person who lets go of all three illusions and moves beyond these rigid views finally realizes their true inner self. Real spiritual awakening begins when we stop arguing about the world and recognize the divine truth within us.
