Ramana Maharshi- Nature of reality

From: ~~~ Talks with Sri Ramana Maharshi, Talk 446.
Q.:The Buddhists deny the world;
the Hindu philosophy admits its existence,
but says that it is unreal. Am I right?
M.: The difference of view is according
to the difference in the angles of vision.
Q.: They say that Sakti creates the world.
Is the knowledge of unreality due to the unveiling of maya?
M.: All admit Sakti’s creation.
What is the nature of the Creatrix? (Founder)
It can only be in conformity with the nature of the creation.
The Creatrix is of the same nature as Her creation.
Q.: Are there degrees of illusion?
M.: Illusion is itself illusory.
Illusion must be seen by one beyond it.
Can such a seer be subject to illusion?
Can he then speak of degrees of illusion?
There are scenes floating on the screen in a cinema show.
Fire appears to burn buildings to ashes.
Water seems to wreck vessels.
But the screen on which the pictures are projected
remains unscorched and dry.
Why?
Because the pictures are unreal and the screen is real.
Again reflections pass through a mirror;
but the mirror is not in any way affected by the quality
or quantity of the reflections on it.
So the world is a phenomenon on the single Reality,
which is not affected in any manner.
Reality is only one.
The discussion about illusion is due to the difference
in the angle of vision.
Change your angle of vision to one of jnana
and then find the universe to be only Brahman.
Being now in the world,
you see the world as such.
Get beyond it and this will disappear:
the Reality alone will shine.
