What is the difference between real God and unreal world in the light of reality?

[A question by Ms. Laxmi Thrylokya]

Swami replied:- Actually, God is real and world is unreal. But, the unreal world is gifted by God with the absolute reality of God so that God wanted to enjoy this world with full entertainment. Anything equally real alone can give full and real entertainment. The soul is entertaining with this world because both soul and the world are equally benefited with the absolute reality of God. In dream, the same soul is in energetic body and the dream is also energetic world and hence, the soul can enjoy the dream fully due to equal reality. Hence, there is no difference between God and world as far as the reality is concerned because both are absolutely real. But, fundamentally the difference between God and world is that God is inherently absolute reality whereas world is inherently absolute unreality and world became absolutely real due to the gifted absolute reality of God by God Himself for the sake of really and full entertainment of the world.

dattaswami said, God is real and the world is unreal; but can this explain why sure thing Pacific Warrior was beaten 25L into 7th place at Gosford yesterday? Coincidence? I THINK NOT!

Shankara told that an unreal cause can generate real effect by giving an example: an unreal tiger seen in a dream generated trembling of the body and loud weeping. The tiger, which is cause, is unreal, but, its effects like trembling and weeping are real. Hence, an unreal cause through illusion (which means that the unreal is appearing as real due to ignorance) can become the cause for real effect.
Even after awaking from the dream, the trembling and weeping continue for some time. This means that the generated effect is not only real, but, so strong as to continue for some more time even after the realization of unreality of the cause. To cure such madness, God Hanuman shall be prayed.
The question (refer the previous question of Ms. Bhanu Samykya) says that even God cannot do anything about this unreal cause, which is thought. In fact, if you think about this point in practical sense, the thought becomes a problem after generating some real difficulty like disturbance in mental health.

You should concentrate on the cure of the real effect and instead of doing this, that person (advisor) is scolding the patient by shouting that the patient is wrong in admitting the unreal thoughts to this extent. Such shouting will worsen the health further. Moreover, the advisor is telling that even God can’t help, and by such advise the heart of the patient would spontaneously break leading to sudden collapse because the advisor is closing all the ways of remedy!
