The unreal universe or mind is erupted out of the real, which is consciousness



Investigation of the Self and Investigations of the 3 states of existence - waking, sleeping, deep sleep will revels the fact that,  the self has a single unitary existence; its inherent nature is "Existence, Consciousness and Bliss". Universe and its contents are truly this at its core, but have seemingly forgotten about their true nature, in the present state of duality, which is caused by ignorance of the reality.

The nondual bliss is not an individual experience but it is the nature of the consciousness, which is the true self.  Consciousness pervades all the three states thus the self is not limited to the waking entity or waking world or dream entity or dream world.  Consciousness is the formless witness of all the three states and witnesses the waking or dream experience as a whole without the physical apparatus.

This uninterrupted Blissful state is achievable by every being in this life itself, once he/she realizes this and works towards discarding the "unreal” by discriminating between real and unreal mentally.

Consciousness, which is the “true self”, does not have birth, life and death. It has not taken birth and it will not take birth. It is beyond birth, life and death, it is immortal, and it is ancient, it does not perish when the mind, which is in the form of universe, perishes. The universe or mind is like the wave of the sea but not the sea, which is the “true self” or consciousness.

Consciousness cannot be cut, cannot be burnt, cannot be melted; neither can be dried. It is eternal, unmoveable, unlike the universe or mind which perishes.   It is the cause of duality. It is the consciousness or self, which oversees the duality or the universe or the mind.   

The consciousness projects itself as the inherent power of the universe.  The self-i.e., Consciousness is the essence of all happenings and circumstances in, which the seeker attempts to know the truth of his true existence.

All experiences of individual actions, conducts happenings are within the universe are mere mirage created out of the true self, which is consciousness. All the conceivable actions and happenings are attributable to the true self in the form consciousness.  

Consciousness is real and consciousness is both real and unreal, because the unreal universe or mind is erupted out of the real, which is consciousness. Whoever does not know the truth that the self is consciousness, falls prey to his ignorance and suffers by experiencing the illusory pain and pleasure as reality.   

All the experiences of  happenings such as birth, life and death, good or bad pain and pleasure, past ,present and future are mere mirage created out of consciousness itself . When wisdom dawns, the ignorance vanishes and   the consciousness alone prevails as eternal reality.       

Self-Knowledge is achievable without the grace of any guru or conceptual god or the mercy of some god men. Seeker has to simply wake up to the Reality [consciousness], which is the formless substance and witness of the unreality [universe of mind].

At the end of the quest the seeker becomes aware of the fact that, the true self is consciousness.  There is nothing exists other than consciousness. Thus consciousness is Ultimate Reality.

 Consciousness is being identified by another name "Nothingness", because truly if there was Nothingness in the end, there must be one "final witness" to that Nothingness.

The “Self” is neither the breath nor breather; because “Self” is the cause of the breather and the breath and it, itself is uncaused.


The universe is abode of the multifarious beings things and experiences. Everything is bound by form time and space. It gives the feeling that everything is well ordained cause and cause leads to result.  Religious theory that Material concept of universe in resists the concept of personal god and universe exists and things will happen in the manner in which they do without the interference of the god or Supreme Being.  The diversity of experiences human beings enjoy and suffers leads him to visualizing the God inherent in all the things and happenings determining their destiny is mere Religious theory based on the false self.

 Therefore, it is necessary to inquire, analyse and reason to realize the fact that, the self is not physical [form] but the self is consciousness [formless]. When one becomes aware of the fact that , the self is not the form but the self is formless. Then whatever seen, known, believed and experienced as form bound to be false hood. All the religious theories, yogic theories or any theories are mere speculation based on the form base, which is the false base. Thus religion and yoga are based on the false self are not the means for Self-Realization.  

The true self, is in the form of consciousness that pervades in all the being and both animates and inanimate, meaning it pervades the whole universe, which is in the form of mind.   The consciousness is imperishable is present in the universe, which is perishable.

One will be able to grasp, assimilates, understands and realizes this truth, only when he is able to view the universe or mind, on the base of the true self, which is formless.  

The paradox of the duality is solved when one understands that, the universe is the manifestation of the consciousness.  Thus, universe [mind], which is full of diversity, is created out of single substance, which is consciousness. The duality [universe] ceases to be real, when one becomes aware of its formless substance and witness, which is consciousness.  Thus, consciousness alone is real and the universe is unreal.

There is no time when the consciousness is not. The consciousness pervades all the three states. Consciousness exits with or without the waking or dream experiences as their formless substance and witness. The universe perishes but the formless substance and witness of the universe, which is consciousness , will prevail eternally.

Whoever considers “Self” [consciousness] to be the breath and whoever considers the self to be the breather, do not realize the truth.  The “Self” is neither the breath nor breather; because “Self” is the cause of the breather and the breath and it, itself is uncaused. The breather ant the breath are part of the mirage.   The universe or mind is mere mirage created out of consciousness, which is the true self.
