Chapter 2 Lesson 4
Krishna goes on to say: The unreal has no existence and the real never ceases to be.
What is unreal? According to Hindu philosophy Creation is an illusion. The illusion is called Maya. Do you know what maya literally means? That which is not.
Now one may argue how that is possible. Well just like a dream seems real when one is sleeping.
Once Buddha was asked how he would describe himself. The Buddha answered: I am awake.
Why is Krishna explaining this to Arjuna? Because He is emphasizing the point that he need not grieve about something that in any case is an illusion.
