The Advaitic truth is beyond the mind, which is in the form of universe. The universe contains man and his individual experiences appear as waking or dream(duality) and disappears as deep sleep(non-duality).
Every man has an initial urge to know the truth about his own self but because he is inborn samskara or conditioning and also conditioned by parental grooming and religious restrictions he follows the inherited path, which keeps him in the prison of ignorance permanently. Ignorance which makes him to experience the birth, life,death and world as reality.
The one who has intense urge will discard his inborn and inherited samskaras conditioning of looking for truth within the religious fold and tries to venture to find his avenues beyond religion, yoga and theories.
The deeper investigation reveals the fact that, all the three states, which comes and goes, are illusory in their nature and the formless witness of the three states is real and eternal. The three states are mere mirage created out of the consciousness ( formless witness). Thus, the witness and witnessed are one in essence. Therefore, the consciousness alone is real and all else is illusion. There is no duality in reality hence it is non-dual. The one who realized this truth is a Gnani.

A Gnani is one who knows he, his body, his ego and his experience of the universe are mere mirage created out of consciousness. Therefore, he is fully aware of the fact that, everything is consciousness and the forms, names and words create division within the consciousness. From the ultimate point of view, the forms, names and words lose their meaning and whatever exits without the forms, name and words is real and eternal.
Noting is real but consciousness. Noting matters but search for the truth. Consciousness pervades everywhere and in everything in the universe, which is in the form of the mind. Mind appears as waking or dream and disappears as deep sleep. That is consciousness appears as mind and disappears back as consciousness. Consciousness is beyond the mind and is everything. Consciousness alone is.
The mind, which is in the form of universe is mere mirage created out of consciousness. Thus the individual experience of birth, life and death, which happens within the universe, is unreal because the universe itself is mere mirage. The consciousness, which is aware of the coming and going of the universe, is real and eternal. Thus the consciousness alone is ultimate truth, which is identified as Brahman /Christ Consciousness/Buddha’s nature by the religious scriptures.

The ultimate truth cannot be explained, it cannot be argued, it cannot be theorized, nor it can be discussed and understood through intellectuality nor it can be experienced. It can only be realized.
