What interests me about this concept is that we all create realities for others just as God has created this reality for us. We are responsible for the reality we create for those around us, it may be conducive to spiritual awakening or it may be an illusion we construct that leads others down dark roads. We often have to think: is this realty I am forming helping others find happiness or is it smoke and mirrors that create further suffering in other people’s lives driven by ego mania and self glorification and pleasure?
Why burden yourself with such thoughts? It is a hallmark of the ego-mind to attribute everything back to itself. It is like the man who waves his spoon with great passion and fury, conducting a pre-recorded ochestra *. In point of fact, all acts performed by the ego-mind which thinks, "I am doing this", have no ability to help the jiva realize its true nature. Even the acts that ego-mind deems to be good turn out, after all, to be useless for igniting the fire of awakenness is sleeping jivas. That's why it is said that it is much better to wake up yourself, rather than worrying about managing things (and characters) within your dream.
