How do you tell the difference between these two things without describing one in terms of the other? What makes something truth?

The illusion is what you don't understand
What is real, is what you do understand!
Truth is real understanding!

The manifested internal potency is real (spiritual world), whereas the external manifested energy in the form of material existence is only temporary and illusory like the mirage in the desert. In the desert mirage there is no actual water. There is only the appearance of water. Real water is somewhere else. The manifested cosmic creation appears as reality. But reality, of which this is but a shadow, is in the spiritual world. Absolute Truth is in the spiritual sky, not the material sky. In the material sky everything is relative truth. That is to say, one truth depends on something else. This cosmic creation results from interaction of the three modes of nature, and the temporary manifestations are so created as to present an illusion of reality to the bewildered mind of the conditioned soul, who appears in so many species of life, there is no reality in the manifested world. There appears to be reality, however, because of the true reality which exists in the spiritual world, where the Personality of Godhead eternally exists with His transcendental paraphernalia.

The universe is all in the mind that perceives it, and perception is the first and only truth. If a tree falls in the forest and nobody is around to witness it, then there is no tree.

Everything is illusion, nothing exists inherently from it's own side. Illusion is real.
