Delusion may not be a very nice word to some. It may conjure images of stupid or crazy. What delusion means – from a Buddhist perspective – becomes clearer when you think in terms of its opposite: wisdom. A person who possesses wisdom does necessarily possess a high IQ or an utterly sane mind – both of which are relative states.
Think of wisdom and delusion as reciprocal states. The more wise a person becomes, the less deluded.
