Chandogya Upanishad: ~ “Whoever sees the Self in all does not see death, disease or diversity.
From the dualistic perspective, the individual experience of birth. Life, death, and the world are a reality.
From the non-dualistic perspective, the individual experience of birth. Life, death, and the world are an illusion.
Wherever there is duality there is the illusion. Wherever there is nonduality there is a reality.
A Gnani sees duality as nonduality in the midst of duality because he has attained Gnana.
First, the seeker has to know ‘what is the subject’ and ‘what is the object’. Deeper Self-search reveals the fact that”: the world in which we exist is an object to the formless subject. The formless subject is the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness.
Deeper verification reveals that the object and the subject are one in essence. That essence is consciousness. Thus, an object is only an illusion created out of the formless subject. Thus, in reality, the subject is real and exists eternal.
The look of an object will depend upon the medium through which the observer views it. In fact, our mental and intellectual conditions determine the object (three states), observed, and experienced. The commoner viewing the object (three states) will see differently from a Gnani viewing the same three states. Each one interprets the three states that they see in terms of their existing knowledge. The commoner sees everything based on the ego, therefore, object (the world in which he exists as a reality), whereas a Gnani sees everything as consciousness and he is fully aware of the fact that, there is no second thing that exists other than the Soul or consciousness (subject).
Thus, all objective observation has to be bifurcated to realize the ultimate truth, which is beyond form, time, and space. : ~ Santthosh Kumaar
