What is the use of discussing the karma, which takes place within the unreal world? Instead, one has to find how this world is unreal (illusion).

In the Atmic discussion, the form, time, and space (universe) are merely an illusion. The karma is possible within the scope of the experience of form, time, and space (universe).

That is why Sage Goudpada said: - The merciful Veda teaches karma and Upasana to people of lower and middling intellect, while Jnana is taught to those of higher intellect.

Sage Goudpada suggests that the religious paths and worship of the guru and conceptual god are lower and middling intellect. But in this modern world, people are sharp enough to understand and assimilate the ultimate truth or Brahman or God in truth.

Thus, for people who want the higher truth then it is high time to discard the lower knowledge and move ahead to realize the ultimate truth, or Brahman or God in truth.

That is why Sage Sankara says: - VC- 65. As a treasure hidden underground requires (for its extraction) competent instruction, excavation, the removal of stones and other such things lying above it, and (finally) grasping, but never comes out by being (merely) called out by name, so the transparent truth of the Self, which is hidden by Maya and its effects, is to be attained through the instructions of a knower of Brahman, followed by reflection, meditation and so forth, but not through perverted arguments.

66. Therefore, the wise should, as in the case of disease and the like, personally strive by all the means in their power to be free from the bondage of repeated births and deaths.

When one realizes the fact that, the whole universe and its contents, movable and immovable, is known to be consciousness, and thus the existence of everything else is negated, where is then any room to say that the universe is the universe. The universe and its contents are bound to be consciousness. Thus, consciousness alone is real and eternal. : ~ Santthosh Kumaar
