Conflicting Realities

What is Reality? What is imagination? We often hear people saying things are not practical, cause they cannot be realized in the world we live in, in "Reality". But still, we hear the same number of people saying nothing is impossible, everything can be done when you have the will to do it.

Therefore one thing can be said with confidence, not everyone who refers to Reality refers to the same Reality. We live in multiplicity, in two worlds, A 'real' world and an 'imaginary' world. But these worlds have no definite boundaries, no closed structures. And they are different for everyone.

I'll put it this way, there are Realms of Reality. Whichever realm you realize your existence is "your" Reality and everything above it is "your" Imaginary world.

If you are finding it hard to understand these so-called Realms. Then let us leave the Reality and Imaginary worlds aside for sometime. Let us start from where everything starts, Birth. When you are born, you don't enter this world; you enter a small part of it. My world is restricted to my parents, my family, my cradle, my toys... You grow up and you start learning, start knowing things around you, within you; the locality you live in, the city, the state, the country you are in; the community you are a part of, the religion you follow; and then you realize you are no more a part of the world you had entered, no more a part of that Realm of Reality. The world has changed, things that you once dreamt of are now a part of your Reality. How many of us dreamt of riding the bikes that our elder brother had, and finally when we rode such bikes, we moved from one Realm to another. The things that were a part of my Imaginary world are a now a part of my Reality.
