The unreal nature of the pain and pleasure is exposed when Advaitic wisdom dawns. Advaitic wisdom dawns when you realize the Self is not you but the Self is the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness.
Suppose if you
are experiencing pain and pleasure in a dream, the dream becomes unreal when
waking takes place. Similarly, the waking becomes unreal when Advaitic wisdom
dawns. The Advaitic wisdom dawns when you realize the ‘Self’ is not ‘you’ but
the ‘Self’ is the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness.
From the standpoint of the Soul, the Self the world in which you exist is merely an
illusion. Thus, all the happening within
the illusion is bound to be an illusion.
Until ignorance prevails, the world in which you exist prevails as a
reality.
The pain and pleasure are a reality within dualistic illusion
or Maya has no value as truth. but people fail to stop
and ask "What is the ultimate meaning of this experience?"
Therefore, inquiry is needed to realize ‘What is the truth?’
‘What is untruth?’
People object to introducing inquiry into the
quest and adopt an attitude as though it were like introducing something that is
not sacred.
Ignorance blocks people from realizing the
truth hidden by the untruth because he has accepted the untruth, as the ultimate
truth. People are unaware of the ultimate truth, which is Brahman or
God in truth.
Remember:~
The ultimate truth or God can be
realized only when he realizes the ‘Self’ hidden by the ‘I’. The ‘Self
the Spirit’ is God, not the ‘I’. Only those
who realize the Spirit as the ‘Self’ is a real Gnani.
When reality appears this ignorance which
one thinks as reality becomes unreal.
Like an ornament made from gold is Gold, that
which is born out of the Spirit (God) is Spirit. Like gold is a
permanent thing, in ornaments made of gold, similarly, the universe is born out
of the Spirit is Spirit in its essence.
Only through Advaitic wisdom, it is possible to realize the God
hidden by the veil of ignorance.
Ignorant people take God for granted without realizing what God is in
actuality. Realization of what God is necessary to become real.
When ignorance vanishes through Advaitic wisdom then the world in which you exist
which you think as reality becomes an illusion.
Sage
Sri, Goudapada’s rational exposition of Advaita:~ Whatever
is seen, whether external or internal, whether by the ordinary persons or
yogis, is unreal.
Thus, whatever you have seen, known, believed, and experienced as a
person within the waking experience is bound to be an illusion created out of consciousness. Thus, the Soul, which
is present in the form of consciousness alone, is real and eternal.
Consciousness is ever-present. Without consciousness, the world, in which you exist ceases to exist. Consciousness is Self-evident. It is not established by extraneous proofs. It
is not possible to deny consciousness, because it is the very essence of
the one who denies it.
Consciousness is the basis of all kinds of knowledge,
presuppositions, and proofs. Consciousness is everything. Thus, consciousness is the ultimate truth or Brahman. : ~ Santthosh Kumaar
