Chandogya Upanishad: ~ One who meditates upon and realizes the Self discovers that everything in the cosmos--all come from the Self.+


Chandogya Upanishad: ~ “One who meditates upon and realizes the Self discovers that everything in the cosmos-- energy and space, fire and water, name and form, birth and death, mind and will, word and deed, mantram and meditation--all come from the Self.
So, it clearly says the one who meditates upon the Self’(consciousness) discovers that everything in the cosmos-- energy and space, fire and water, name and form, birth and death, mind and will, word and deed, mantrams and meditation--all come from the Self.
There is a need to know the fact that, the true “Self’ is not physical but the Soul to realize that the cosmos-- energy and space, fire and water, name and form, birth and death, mind and will, word and deed, mantrams and meditation--all come from the “Self’, which is in the form of consciousness.
Atman is Brahman. Brahman the Absolute is alone real; this waking is unreal, and the three states are non-different from Brahman.
The body, the ego, and the world are one, in essence. The essence is consciousness. Therefore the body, the ego, and the world are created out of single stuff. That single stuff is the Soul which is present in the form of consciousness.
The Soul is the fullness of consciousness. Therefore, there is nothing apart from it.
Brihadaranyaka Upanishad- The “Self’ is indeed Brahman (consciousness), but through ignorance, people identify it with intellect, mind, senses, passions, and the elements of earth, water, air, space, and fire. This is why the “Self’ is said to consist of this and that and appears to be everything.
Consciousness is within, consciousness is without; consciousness is before, consciousness is behind; consciousness is on the right, consciousness is on the left; consciousness is above and consciousness is below. Consciousness is not an object, as it is invisible, beyond the reach of the physical eyes. Consciousness is the ultimate truth. And the ultimate truth is Brahman or God.
The world in which we exist is merely an illusion created out of consciousness. Therefore, hold on to consciousness which is real and eternal, and mentally negate the world in which we exist by realizing the world in which we exist is nothing but consciousness.  : ~Santthosh Kumaar
