Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - We human beings have always stood before the mystery of existence with the same restless questions: Why are we here What is the meaning of life What lies beyond suffering, beyond joy, beyond death From the silent meditation halls of the Buddha to the soaring cathedrals of Christianity, from the verses of the Upanishads to the writings of modern scientists and philosophers, humanity has never ceased searching for answers.This book, An Illusion Called Life, is an attempt to listen to those many voices together. Each tradition-religious, philosophical, or scientific-has its own language and metaphors, its own vision of truth. To Carl Jung, the purpose of life lies in individuation, the integration of the self. To the Buddha, it is liberation from suffering. To Vedanta, it is the recognition that the self and the absolute are one. Science speaks of survival, evolution, and the human capacity to create meaning. Existentialists, in their stark honesty, remind us that life has no inherent meaning unless we dare to invent it. And mystics like Osho insist that life's meaning is not to be found in dogma but in lived awareness, love, and celebration.Though these voices seem diverse-even contradictory-if we listen carefully, certain harmonies emerge. Again and again, we hear themes of compassion, inner clarity, responsibility, freedom, and wholeness. Again and again, we are told that meaning is not only a matter of grand metaphysical truths but also of how we live each day-how we love, how we see, how we act.This book does not claim to offer the final answer to life's questions. Instead, it seeks to create a dialogue across traditions, showing where wisdom converges and where it diverges. The aim is not to collapse differences but to find bridges-to show how insights from East and West, from faith and reason, can together guide us toward a more grounded and authentic way of being.Perhaps life is, as some say, an illusion. But if it is an illusion, it is one in which we must live, act, and find meaning. And perhaps, by drawing from the collective treasury of human thought, we can learn to live this illusion not in despair, but with clarity, compassion, and depth.…
