THE PERSON YOU LOVE MAY NOT EXIST

Do you truly know the people in your life… or do you simply
know the roles they play? Have you ever failed to recognise
someone because they looked different outside the environment
in which you usually meet them? Have you ever been disappointed
because someone behaved differently from the image you had
created of them? Have you ever wondered whether you love the
person… or the version of them that exists in your own mind? In
this deeply thought-provoking book, Dr. Abhishek Gilara
explores a powerful yet often overlooked truth: We rarely relate
to people as they truly are.
More often, we relate to the mental images, roles, appearances, and expectations we have created
about them. Blending insights from modern psychology, neuroscience, leadership, everyday life,
and the timeless wisdom of Sanatan philosophy, this book invites readers to question one of the
greatest assumptions of human relationships. Inside these pages, you will discover why the
human mind recognises patterns more readily than people, how roles quietly shape our relationships
and expectations, why disappointment often begins with the images we create, the difference
between seeing a face and seeing a soul, how true leadership, love, and compassion begin
when we look beyond labels, and why our own identity is far greater than any profession, title,
appearance, or social role. This is not merely a book about relationships. It is a book about perception.
It is about learning to see beyond the uniform, beyond the title, beyond success and failure,
and beyond the changing roles that every human being plays. Because the day we stop loving
only appearances… the day we stop judging only by labels… the day we stop imprisoning people
inside our expectations… we begin discovering something timeless. Not merely the person
behind the role… but the soul behind the person. And perhaps, in that discovery, we begin seeing
ourselves differently as well.
