Even intellectually grasping this fosters peace. As the story notes, life's attachments—lovers, possessions, even our bodies—come and go, yet we endure. Shift the "I" from the transient waker/dreamer/sleeper to the eternal witness.

One of the deepest questions that has haunted both philosophy and physics is simple to ask but impossible to settle: Why does the universe exist at all? Ancient Indian thinkers tackled this with extraordinary depth, formulating competing theories about how the world originates — from absolute nothingness, from latent potential, from divine will, or from endless causal cycles.

Here, I explore that vision: the dream of the world, the seeker’s questions, the illusion of separation, and the ultimate awakening to the timeless Self — the silent sky within which all appearances shine and dissolve.

If our lives hinge on memories—real, imagined, or ephemeral—then what is reality? A collective hallucination? A neurological glitch in an indifferent cosmos? And if Alzheimer's or a rogue dream can dissolve it all, why persist? What purpose animates our striving—the careers we chase, the bonds we nurture, the dreams we dare? Why should we do anything when the ground beneath us is quicksand?

The evolution of Indian philosophy—from pre-Vedic spiritualism to Vedantic metaphysics—demonstrates its remarkable depth and adaptability.

Concepts like wave functions, entanglement, and probabilities resist being reduced to simple, tangible components.

While,Quantum physics describes these phenomena mathematically, Vedanta provides the philosophical framework to understand their implication

Just as a dream is real only to the dreamer, the perceived universe is real only to the mind but arises from the substrate of consciousness.

Once the concept of survival beyond death as seen in Abrahamic traditions is accepted, notions like karma and reincarnation naturally follow

This forms a "strange loop": the past gives rise to observers, but the past itself depends on these observers to reconstruct it.
