Meaning
Here I am in the desert, thirsty and looking for water, sure I could give up and sit in a mirage and pretend water is spiritual and is all around me, or I could accept the mirage is an illusion and carry on looking. Sure I might never find an oasis, but if I do not look for real water I will definitely not find it.
