Like you don't know while dreaming that everything around you is not real, only when you wake up do you realise. Similarly everything around you now is not real, in the "time before time" the universe was nothing & that's were it'll go back one the hourglass is drained. Think of the internet... one solar flare & everything we think exists could go *poof*
Every action one makes is for naught, like a stone in a river, it may cause a turbulence & the water finally flows again as if the stone never existed."


Probably you know the funny story with professor George Berkeley and his friend prof X.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Berkeley

Irish philosopher George Berkeley had a theory similar to ideas of Vedanta and insisted that external world around us is unreal, it's exist only in our mind and is created by our mind, so if our senses bring wrong information to the brain there is no way to prove the existence of the material world. Prof Berkeley often liked to discuss and argue on the topic with his friend prof X in the Trinity college. One day after similar fierce discussion both men got out of the building of university. Outside was raining really strong. Than George Berkeley opened his umbrella to hide from the pouring rain. Suddenly prof X asked him laughing: 

- Prof Berkeley, why did you open your umbrella if the rain does not exist according your theory?

Berkeley in first moment got confused of such a question but then answered firmly:
- You see my friend - the rain for sure does not "exist" only "wets"...   


The philosophy of Ancient India is so sophisticated than only few people in the world understand it same as theory of relativity of Einstein physicists say is understand properly only by 50-100 scientists. Its probably the highest point the human speculation has ever reached. Reply
