The words are mere tools of communication within the illusion. Whatever one calls it, it is just to indicate something beyond, which cannot be approached or named, because the words, thoughts and experience is made out of the beyond. The beyond is within the the mind and it is without the mind. There is no use of finding the meaning of words. One has to indulge in knowing the truth, which words fail to covey, but it can be grasped through deeper inquiry ,analysis and reasoning. When the ultimate truth is realized, all the words and thoughts and experience become one with the stuff, from where they have erupted. Thus, thoughts experiences and the world are created out of single stuff, which can be called soul/spirit or whatever.................
