Sage Sankara’s wisdom is nothing but scientific truth of the consciousness which is the cause of the universe and it itself is uncaused.+

Sage Sankara says:~ If the cause is destroyed, the effect will no longer exist. For example, if from the effect, cotton cloth, the cause, threads, are removed, there will be no cloth, i.e., the cloth is destroyed. Similarly, if in the effect, thread, the cause, cotton, is removed, there will be no thread, i.e., the thread is destroyed. (Brahmasutra Bhashya, commentary on the Brahma Sutra, (9) 2.1.9)

Despite the non-difference of cause and effect, the effect has its Self in the cause but not the cause in the effect. The effect is of the nature of the cause and not the cause the nature of the effect. Therefore, the qualities of the effect cannot touch the case because the cause and effect are present only when the duality is present.

The duality is present only when there is illusion. The illusion is there only when there is ignorance. When there is no ignorance, then there is no illusion.

When there is no illusion, then there is no duality. When there is no duality, then there is no cause and effect. When there is no cause and effect, then there is nondual reality.

Sage Sankara says:~ During the time of its existence, one can easily grasp that the effect is not different from the cause. However, that the cause is different from the effect is not readily understood. As to this, it is not really possible to separate cause from effect. But this is possible by imagining so. For example, the reflection of the gold ornament seen in the mirror is only the form of the ornament but is not the ornament itself as it (the reflection) has no gold in it at all. (Chandogya Upaniṣad Bhāṣya, commentary on the Chandogya Upanishad, 6.3.2)

All names and forms are real when seen with the Brahman, but are false when seen independent of Brahman (Soul). This way, the seeker of truth establishes the non-difference of the effect from the cause.

Remember:~

Sage Sankara ~ VC~ "All this universe, which through ignorance appears as of diverse forms, is nothing else but Brahman which is absolutely free from all the limitations of Maya.

Sage Sankara’s wisdom is nothing but scientific truth of the consciousness which is the cause of the universe and it itself is uncaused.

Sage Sankara’s Advaitic wisdom is nothing but the science of consciousness. Sage Sankara was the first scientist who declared the universe is nothing but consciousness.

Sage Sankara: ~VC~ if the universe be true, let it then be perceived in the state of deep sleep also. As it is not at all perceived, it must be unreal and false, like dreams.

Sage Sankara’s wisdom is a Self-examiner, to test oneself to discover how near to Gnana he has approached and what progress has already been made on the path and what still remains to be done. It sets up criterion for self-judgement.

That is why Sage Sankara: ~ VC- 63. Without causing the objective universe to vanish and without knowing the truth of the ‘Self’ how is one to achieve Liberation by the mere utterance of the word Brahman? — It would result merely in an effort of speech.

Sage Sankara: ~ VC In the dream state, even though there is no contact with the outside world, the Soul alone projects the entire dream universe of enjoyer, enjoyment etc. Similarly, the waking state is no different. All this world of pluralistic phenomena is illusory projection.

Sage Sankara is the first scientist the humanity has to bow with gratitude to the great Sage scientist.

Sage Sankara says: ~ “VC- 63 ~ "Without knowing and examining the external world, one can’t know Truth, as the idea that the external world exists, won't go. It can go only by an inquiry into the nature of the external world.

In nondual Self-awareness, the ego is not considered as ego, even though ego is present, the body is not considered as body even though body is present, the world which confronts him is not considered as world even though the world is present, the duality ceases even though the duality is present, and because of awareness of the truth everything is considered as consciousness. Thus, there is conscious oneness.:~Santthosh Kumaar
