People are caught up in the spider web of the words and in the belief in variety. The person, who is being immersed in ignorance, experiences the birth, life, death, and the world as a reality.
The ignorant sees variety in this consciousness never will be able to recognize the truth, which is hidden by the form, time and space or the dualistic illusion.
Inasmuch as the whole universe is born of consciousness, the supreme Atman, they must be understood to be verily consciousness. Consciousness alone is the substratum of all varieties of names, forms, and actions.
Just as the ornaments made of gold ever has the nature of gold, so also a being born of the consciousness has always the nature of consciousness.
The universe is nothing but a dualistic illusion. The dualistic illusion appears through ignorance. Within the dualistic illusion, there is the division of the form, time and space.
Within the domain of the form, time and space there is the separation because of this separation one sees another; but when everything becomes identified with the Atman, which is present in the form of consciousness, one does not perceive another even in the least.
In Self-awareness, one realizes all as identified with the Soul, there arises neither delusion nor sorrow, in consequence of the absence of dualistic illusion.
The Soul n, which is the Self of all, is verily consciousness. Consciousness is ultimate truth or Brahman or God in truth.
The world, in which we exist, though an object of our daily experience and serving all practical purposes, is, like the dream world, of the nature of non-existence, inasmuch as it is contradicted the next moment.
The dream (experience) is unreal in waking, whereas the waking (experience) is absent in dream. Both, however, are non-existent in deep sleep which, again, is not experienced in either.
Thus, all the three states are unreal inasmuch as they are the creation of the form, time and space; but their witness (the reality behind them) is, beyond the form, time and space, eternal, one, and is the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness itself.
When ignorance vanishes you are no more deluded by the illusory reality of the form, time and space, you no more see the illusory division of the form, time and space in consciousness when you realized the ‘Self not the ‘I’ but the Soul, the witness of the ‘I’ .the ‘I’ losses is its luster of the reality. Same as the dream loses its reality when waking takes place.
A Gnani sees the fullness of consciousness, but the ignorant is unaware of the fact that the world in which he exists is the dualistic illusion created out of consciousness. : ~ Santthosh Kumaar
