A permanent view of world as unreal can come only after soul centric reasoning; such knowledge cannot change.



The mind is created by the soul,which is present in the form of the consciousness. The consciousness has its own role in the creation of the illusion. Without consciousness, the world ceases to exist.

 One has to judge the mind from the perspective of the soul,which is present in the form of consciousness and  not from the perspective of ego,which is the false self(waking entity)  within the false experience(waking). By realizing 'what is what'  clearly, one will clearly know 'what is truth' and 'what is illusion'. Once one becomes aware of what is truth' and what is illusion' than it becomes easy to accept the truth and drop the illusion. 

A permanent view of world as unreal can come only after soul centric reasoning; such knowledge cannot change. Were the seeker who is sufficiently sharpness he could grasp the unreal nature of the world by soul-centric reasoning alone.  To know whole truth, one must know the whole universe, otherwise he gets only half-truth. 

  
Renouncing the worldly life and accepting sanyasa or monk-hood means incapacity to think deeper, an impotency to inquire and reason. 



Chandogya Upanishad -One who meditates upon and realizes the self discovers that everything in the cosmos-- energy and space, fire and water, name and form, birth and death, mind and will, word and deed, mantram and meditation--all come from the Self.

'I’ is not the ‘Self’  and  the ‘Self’  is not 'I '. 'I ' is bound by form, time and space. Without the form, time and space 'I' cease to exist. Holding 'I’ as Self one remains in clutches of duality. When there is duality than there is ignorance. Ignorance is cause of experiencing the duality (illusion) as reality. The one, who identifies the Self as 'I', will not be able to cross the threshold of duality. There is no point in saying 'I ' this or 'I AM THAT' because the 'self' is that which witnesses the 'I ' and the world together without the physical apparatus.
The Consciousness (soul) is the substance and the witness of the duality.  The duality is present in the form of mind. The Mind is present in the form of the universe. The universe appears as waking or dream and diapers as deep sleep. The one which is aware of the coming and going of the three states is neither the waking entity nor the dream entity but the formless soul, which is present in the form of consciousness.  When the soul becomes aware of its formless non-dual true nature in the midst of duality it is called self –awareness. It is foolish to limit the consciousness only to duality because the consciousness pervades all the three states 
The  consciousness is the shoreless Non-dual Ocean. Consciousness is beyond form, time and space. Consciousness is beyond instinct, intellect, imagination and inspiration. It is unconscious of its true nature when it is in illusion. Only beyond illusion it is in its true nature. 
One has to know the mind is universe  and the universe is mere an illusion and the universe  appears as waking or dream(duality)  disappears as deep sleep(non-duality).   The whole universe is created out of  the consciousness.  Therefore the universe is consciousness. the consciousness  is responsible for the existence of the mind or universe or illusion. 

Prior to appearance of the mind(universe or waking)  there was only consciousness. Mind is created our consciousness. Before appearance of the mind, there was only consciousness.  Only in ignorance of consciousness, the mind or universe shines as reality. On the standpoint of consciousness there is neither creation nor creator. Consciousness is free from all limitations created by ignorance.  One  realizes this truth  thorough Self- knowledge  or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana. Through Self- knowledge  or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana one  realizes the mind or universe or waking  is mere illusion created out of consciousness.

The universe  is created by  the consciousness. That mind(universe) came from that consciousness only. the soul or consciousness, the innermost self is  is the source form whee the mind rises and subsides.  Thus the mind which contains form,time and space are one in essence.thus no second thing exist other than consciousness.  thus consciousness is second to none.
Prior to appearance of the mind,  the consciousness, alone existed, and that its nature was pure Existence.  Prior to mind, which is in the form of universe, there was only the non-dual  Existence or consciousness. From consciousness came mind or the whole universe.

Immutable consciousness the mind or universe, which contains all the sentient and insentient entities, is born. 
One can see the world and various objects of the world as a person. Before universe or mind got manifested, they were there in consciousness in unmanifested form or potential form. 
The mind or universe which was in unmanifested form got manifested as name and form. From ignorance the mind came into existence as universe. 
The consciousness assumes as mind, which contains universe of  diverse forms as the egos, bodies and things.  The universe is created  out of consciousness is a  mere  illusion. That means the mind or universe  is  an illusion.  the illusion  appears as waking and dream(duality) and disappears as deep sleep(non-duality).

The consciousness is the sustainer of the illusion. Without consciousness there is no mind.  Without the mind there is no duality. Without the duality there is no illusion, without the illusion, there no ignorance. Without the ignorance it is non-dualistic  reality.
