Whatever appears and disappears is a falsehood. The people who live in the appeared universe belongs to the false hood.+

One sees many stars in the sky at night, but not when the sun rises. Can he, therefore, say that there are no stars in the sky during the day?

The world in which you exist hides the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness. Without consciousness, the world in which you exist ceases to exist. The world in which you exist is nothing but consciousness.

One is unaware of the Soul the  Self, due to ignorance. The Soul or 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. The consciousness is the real  Self.

The consciousness is hidden within the world in which you exist. Until one thinks of his body as a body, ego as ego the universe as the universe he remains in ignorance because he is still in ignorance and he is unaware of the fact that they too are the consciousness.

The consciousness is not an object, as it is invisible, beyond the reach of the eyes. It is not another. It is all-full, infinite, changeless, Self-existent, Self-delight, and Self-knowledge. It is the essence. It is the essence of the knower. It is the formless substance and Witness of the dualistic illusion or Maya.

Remember:~

The universe is both real and unreal. It is real because it is a manifestation of consciousness, but is unreal, in the sense, that it is not absolute and eternal like consciousness itself.

People's approach is practical, and they stuck with the reality of the universe, they take it as real. That is why all the confusion.

Whatever appears and disappears is a falsehood. The people who live in the appeared universe belong to the falsehood. 

The universe appears as waking or dream (duality) and disappears as deep sleep(nonduality).   Whatever is permanent is a reality, whatever impermanent falsehood is a falsehood.  Thus, the universe, which appears and disappears is a falsehood.

The look of an object will depend upon the medium through which the observer views it. In fact, our mental and intellectual conditions determine the world, observed and experienced. The commoner viewing the world will see differently from a Gnani viewing the same world. Each one interprets the world that they see in terms of their existing knowledge. The commoner sees everything based on the ego and, therefore, experiences birth, life, death, and the world as a reality, whereas, a Gnani sees everything as consciousness and he is fully aware of the fact that, there is no second thing that exists other than the Soul or consciousness. Thus, all the egocentric knowledge has to be bifurcated to realize the ultimate truth, which is beyond form, time, and space.

The world in which we exist is nothing but an illusion created out of the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness.

The whole universe is nothing but the Soul. There is no second thing that exists other than the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness.

It is not as if something that was not consciousness suddenly becomes consciousness. Rather, "knowing the truth” means a removal of the ignorance about one's own existence as the consciousness. Thus, to "know the truth” is to "be   consciousness."

Consciousness is ever-present. Without consciousness, the world, in which you exist ceases to exist.  

Remember 

The universe does not disappear after Self-realization, but ignorance disappears. The unreal nature of the universe is exposed.  A Gnani is fully aware that his body and his experience of the universe, that is, the whole waking experience is merely created out of consciousness. Realizing truth in the midst of dualistic illusion or Maya is Advaitic wisdom.  Thus, he becomes free from experiencing the illusion as reality. 

This is the reason why one has to realize the fact that, the self is not ‘I’, but ‘I’ is the mind. And the mind is not limited to the physical entity but the mind, is the whole universe that appears as the whole waking or dream experience.

When the self is not the body the body-based inquiry is not of any use.  Therefore, one has to inquire and reason on the base of the formless self to unfold the mystery of the mind or universe, which appears as a waking or dream (duality)  experience and disappears as deep sleep(non-duality). 

Once total abidance takes place then there are no more externalities, for all of them would have subsided in the very bosom of the one who inquiring and he becomes aware that the mind and the Soul are one in essence.  The essence is consciousness. And there is no second thing other than the consciousness that is the true realization of Advaitic truth.   

Realize with a full and firm conviction that: ~

You are not you but consciousness; your body is not the body but consciousness, the world in which you exist is not the world but consciousness.

Everything known, seen, believed, and experienced by you is nothing but consciousness then what else remains, which is not consciousness. There is nothing else to realize other than realizing that consciousness alone is, everything else is merely an illusion created out of consciousness.

By realizing everything is consciousness, the Advaitic wisdom dawns. Perfect understanding and assimilation of ‘what is what’ lead to Advaitic awareness.

Without the world, in which you exist God in truth alone exists. When God in truth disappears the world, in which you exist appears. The world, in which you exist disappears God in truth appears. Thus, realize that God in truth to be the Soul.

The Soul is the Self. Thus, the Soul is present in the form of consciousness as the ultimate truth or Brahman or God in truth.

If you stick to the ultimate truth then the world in which you exist is merely an illusion created out of consciousness. If you realize this truth you will live in this world but not of this world. Consciousness alone is real and eternal.

Remember: ~

The Advaitic wisdom leads the seeker from darkness to light, from ignorance to wisdom, from unawareness of the ‘Self’ to Self-awareness, from unreality to reality.

Bhagavad Gita: 7: 19: ~ "Such a man who has attained true knowledge, the knowledge of Self, the knowledge of Atman, worships ‘Self’ as~ Atman (God in truth) alone exists~ everything is Atman, there exists nothing except Atman. Such a man is extremely rare."

All is consciousness. The universe is nothing but consciousness. From consciousness, the universe comes. When the universe disappears,   consciousness still remains without  the illusory  form, time, and space

The Soul itself is God, the One without a Second.

The Soul is the ultimate truth or Brahman or God. The Soul, God is present in the form of consciousness. Thus, consciousness itself is God.

Even the Bhagavad Gita says: ~ Brahmano hi pratisthaham ~ Brahman (God) is considered the all-pervading consciousness, which is the basis of all the animate and inanimate entities and material. (14.27).

Consciousness is God in truth. God in truth is Self-evident. It is not established by extraneous proofs. It is not possible to deny God in truth because God in truth is the very essence of the one who denies God in truth. God in truth is the basis of all kinds of knowledge, presuppositions, and proofs.

Even Rig Veda: ~ The Atman (Soul) is the cause; Atman is the support of all that exists in this universe. May ye never turn away from the Atman, the Self. May ye never accept another God in place of the Atman nor worship other than the Atman?"

Even in the Brihadaranyaka Upanishad: ~ Brahman (God in truth) is in the form of the Athma, and it is indeed Athma itself’.

The Vedas talk about Brahman (God) which refers to the ultimate truth or the ultimate reality or Advaita. Consciousness is the Advaita or the ultimate truth, therefore, consciousness is the ultimate truth or Brahman or God in truth. : ~Santthosh Kumaar
