What is real and what is illusion? Defining what really matters.

This was one of my favorite Osho talks. The title says it's about grieving but this actually is all about the illusory nature of reality. Specifically how humanity attaches meaning to transitional thing's including children and physical things like houses and money. This is all a masters viewpoint of life and how everything that is impermanent is temporary and should not be held onto. The things that last forever found through meditation are what matters: all of humankind is grasping for things while the whole earth takes care of itself, the stars and everything else in reality exist without striving. This is one of those talks that has such depth that listening to it a few times would be wise.
