Sage Sankara: ~ VC~ All this universe, which through ignorance appears as of diverse forms, is nothing else but Brahman (Consciousness) which is absolutely free from all the limitations of Maya.
Consciousness itself is the cause of the illusory universe, and Consciousness is the source of the universe. Consciousness itself gives the touch of reality to the illusory universe.
Consciousness is infinite and eternal. Consciousness is an absolute reality that transcends any attempts to explain or comprehend it.
Consciousness is indescribable and indefinable. Consciousness is a perfect being, perfect wisdom, and perfect awareness.
From the standpoint of the Soul, the Self, the universe is merely an illusion created out of consciousness.
The differences between the universe and the Soul are also unreal and real because the universe is nothing but an illusion created out of the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness.
Consciousness is ever-present. Without consciousness, the world, in which you exist, ceases to exist.
Consciousness is Self-evident. It is not established by extraneous proof. 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. Consciousness is everything. Thus, consciousness is the ultimate truth or Brahman or God in truth.
Remember:~
The universe in which you exist, your thoughts and your world are made of single stuff. Knowledge of that single stuff is the truth, which is beyond the form, time, and space.
Mentally reduce the universe in which you exist into waking experience and waking experience into mind and mind into consciousness by perfect understating of ‘what is what’.
The Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness, is the ultimate Truth or Brahman or God in truth.
It is the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness, which appears as the whole universe in which we exist owing to ignorance, just as a shell appears as silver.
When the illusion gets dispelled, the silver dissolves into the substratum, the shell. Similarly, when ignorance is erased the whole world dissolves into its substratum the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness. The Soul is the Self.
Knowledge of the Soul is Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana.
Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana is the supreme knowledge, as also Moksha. Moksha is liberation from experiencing the illusory experience of birth, life, death, and the world
Sage Sankara’s Advaitic wisdom itself is Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana. : ~Santthosh Kumaar
