This Is Illusion

A dog found a fake toy bone and started biting it. While chewing, he bit his own jaw and started bleeding. 

Then he started licking his own blood thinking that it is coming from the bone.

Moral Of The Story

Jagadguru Shri Kripalu Ji Maharaj refers to this example to teach us that what we assume as happiness in this world is actually suffering. Or what we call happiness of the world is actually a compromise on the absence of happiness.

The dog did not find a real bone to chew. But it started getting the taste of its own blood. 

He assumed that it is getting it from a real bone.
