The invisible and unborn Soul is the ultimate truth, or Brahman or God in truth. God is present in the form of consciousness.
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.
God in truth is the witness-consciousness that experiences the action, the actor, and the world of separate things. It is like a light that illuminates everything in a theatre, revealing the master of ceremonies, the guests, and the dancers with complete impartiality. Even when they all depart, the light shines to reveal their absence.
Sage Sankara’s Supreme Brahman (God in truth) is impersonal, Nirguna (without Gunas or attributes), Nirakara (formless), Nirvisesha (without special characteristics), immutable, eternal, and Akarta (non-agent). God in truth is above all needs and desires. God in truth is always the Witnessing Subject. God in truth can never become an object, as God in truth is beyond the reach of the senses. God in truth is non-dual, one without a second. God in truth has no other besides it. God in truth is destitute of difference, either external or internal. God in truth cannot be described because the description implies a distinction. God in truth cannot be distinguished from any other than the invisible God in truth. In God in truth, there is no distinction between substance and attribute. Sat-Chit-Ananda constituted the very essence or Svarupa of God in truth, and not just God in truth's attributes. The Nirguna Brahman of Sage Sankara is impersonal
Remember:~
Sage Sankara (VC) indicated that:- 56. Neither by Yoga, nor by Sankhya, nor by work, nor by learning, but by the realisation of one's identity with Brahman is Liberation possible, and by no other means.
58. Loud speech consisting of a shower of words, the skill in expounding the Scriptures, and likewise erudition - these merely bring on a little personal enjoyment to the scholar, but are no good for Liberation.
59. The study of the Scriptures is useless so long as the highest Truth is unknown, and it is equally useless when the highest Truth has already been known.
60. The Scriptures, consisting of many words, are a dense forest that merely causes the mind to ramble. Hence, men of wisdom should earnestly set about knowing the true nature of the Self.
61. For one who has been bitten by the serpent of Ignorance, the only remedy is the knowledge of Brahman. Of what avail are the Vedas and (other) Scriptures, Mantras (sacred formulae), and medicines to such a one?
62. A disease does not leave off if one simply utters the name of the medicine, without taking it; (similarly) without direct realisation, one cannot be liberated by the mere utterance of the word Brahman.
Holding some teacher or teaching as a yardstick and trying to prove that he is right and others are wrong, and indulging in the perverse argument, will help to unfold the mystery of the mind.
Seeker has to learn to view and judge from the standpoint of the invisible Soul, the witness, and then he will never have any doubts or confusion.
When one thinks deeply, then only the inner revelation starts and starts burning the dross (confusion and doubts).
Luke 1720 And when he was demanded of the Pharisees, when the kingdom of God should come, he answered them and said, "The kingdom of God cometh not with observation: Neither shall they say, 'Lo here! or, lo there!' for, behold, the kingdom of God is within."
This means that the "kingdom of God" (heaven) is within - it is not a place to be reached, but rather the truth of one’s true existence, which is beyond form, time, and space. : - Santthosh kumaar
