The universe is verily consciousness. Without realizing ‘what is
the Mind? it impossible to get Self-realization.
The universe is not different
from the Mind because the universe is the mind itself. The mind is not
different from the Soul because the mind is the dualistic illusion created out
of the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness.
Thus, the universe is nothing but consciousness. The universe is
unreal because it is not absolute and eternal like consciousness.
It is impossible for any human being to challenge successfully the Advaitic position, as Sage Sankara says.
Sage Sankara asks
his opponents "How do you know there are separate individual Souls? Have
you seen the Soul of a man? You can only say that you have seen different
bodies. To say more is to misuse language. Therefore I call you liars unless
you give proof, which is impossible.
A man who describes Sankara's wisdom as negative (because of
his Neti, Neti) does not know that this is applied only to the world of the
Seen, the critic ignorantly believes that it is also applied to the Seer. A
Gnani never negates the Seer, only the seen.
Remember:~
Sage Sankara: ~ “VC~
All this universe which through ignorance appears as of diverse forms is
nothing else but Brahman (Consciousness) which is absolutely free from all the
limitations of the 'I'.
The universe is the product of ignorance. Ignorance is present
in the form of the ‘I’.
Sage Sankara says: - VC-47 All the effects of ignorance,
root and branch are burnt down by the fire of knowledge, which arises from
discrimination between these two—the Self and the non-self.
Until you think you are an individual separate from the world and
the world existed prior to you and you are born in it afterward the ignorance
will prevail as a reality. Till ignorance is there the universe prevails as
reality.
Sage Sankara says: ~ “The
exercise in discrimination between real and unreal and renunciation of the
false is real meditation, then why are you indulging in other types of
meditation.
Perfect understanding and realization of ‘what is what’ leads to
Self-awareness. By holding onto theories one remains in the realm of duality.
You have to mentally go on dropping what is not the truth through deeper
Self-search.
Finally when you become aware of the fact that, your ego, your
body, and the world are one in essence then there is Self-awareness in the
midst of dualistic illusion or Maya: ~ Santthosh Kumaar
