    Trick question?

    depends if you want to live in the illusion
    or if you want to live in reality.
    If your answer is the latter
    then yes there are things you should know.

    Cosmic...
    Desire is a trap.
    The reality is within you as your True Self,
    just on the other side of the Ego.
    Ramana Maharshi says it nicely.



    The Vendanta says

    The Absolute is real, the World is unreal:
    This is the only truth.
    without Knowledge of the absolute Self
    there is no end to suffering.
    He who knows the One in all attains peace.
    The Absolute is the individual Soul.
