Why I Can Love Them

Govinda said: "what you call a thing, is it something real and intrinsic? Is it not simply an illusion of Maya, merely image and appearance? Your stone, your tree, are they real?

"This does not trouble me much," said Siddhartha. "If they are illusion, then I too am illusion, and so they are of the same nature as myself. That is why I can love them.

Herman Hesse ("Siddhartha")
