Existence and non-existence are only from the dualistic perspective. The form, time, and space are non-existent as reality from the nondualistic perspective. Reality is a formless, timeless, and spaceless existence.

The look of an object will depend upon the medium through which the observer views it. Our mental and intellectual conditions determine the world, observed and experienced. The commoner viewing the world will see differently from a Gnani viewing the same world. Each one interprets the world that they see in terms of their existing knowledge. The commoner sees everything based on the ego and, therefore, experiences birth, life, death, and the world as a reality, whereas a Gnani sees everything as consciousness and he is fully aware of the fact that, there is no second thing exists other than the Soul or consciousness.

Thus, all the egocentric (religious) adulteration has to be bifurcated to realize the ultimate truth, which is beyond form, time, and space.

If you search for the ‘Self’ you will find only the Soul. If you search for truth you will find only the Soul. If you search for God you will find only the Soul.

Thus, the Soul is the Goal. The Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness, is the ultimate truth or Brahman or God.

What exists with or without the world, in which you exist, is the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness. When the Soul remains in its awareness in the midst of the world, in which you exist, it is in its swa swaroopa or Self-awareness.

The unreal is created out of the real. The Soul is the fullness of consciousness without any division. A Gnani is fully aware the division of form, time, and space is merely an illusion created out of consciousness. Thus, consciousness is one without the second.

A Gnani has a firm conviction that, the “Self” is neither the waking entity nor the dream entity because the waking and dream both are illusory. The Self is the invisible Soul is the existence and knowledge.

Illusion’s "concealing power" merely means that when one looks at an ice block he thinks only of the ice block, but a Gnani will think of the substance of the ice block too. That is a Gnani knows the substance plus of the ice block. Similarly, a Gnani has the knowledge of the universe and its formless substance. Consciousness is concealed because of ignorance.

As a man, one is not aware of the fact that his body, his ego, and his experience of the world are merely an illusion created out of consciousness.

When one becomes aware of the fact that, the universe is merely an illusion, then he realizes the fact that his body is part of the illusory world. The dualistic illusion or Maya is created out of consciousness. Thus, consciousness alone is real and eternal. : ~ Santthosh Kumaar
