Unreality or illusory nature of the mind is recognized only when one has the clear understanding that there is only soul,which is in the form consciousness and, soul or consciousness is the True Self.

First, objective awareness is only attributiveness and not substantiveness. If it had been substantiveness also then senses could have grasped the substantiveness along with its attribute of objectiveness and no error could have been committed.

 Errors arise during perception because objective knowledge is not subjective knowledge.  The dominant attribute of the objectiveness, alone was perceived and not the subjective knowledge. Therefore, the theories are based on objective knowledge, whereas the self-knowledge is based on subjective knowledge. The substantial knowledge of the three states is formless  soul, the innermost  self - knowledge as soul is the substantive of the three states.

The physical eyes are not the witness, because the physical body and the world are within the waking experience. Waking is a seen.  The seer is the formless  soul, the innermost self. Thus the subject is formless [soul] the object is form (waking or dream).

Whatever seen is unreal but is taken as real. The dream witnessed was a seen. Thus the waking also is seen on the standpoint of the soul, thus waking also is unreal, and the formless  soul, the innermost self the witness is real.

 All the worldly transactions; and suffering associated with waking experience hence it is unreal.


True Self not what one thinks as True Self, but True Self is the very substantive of both the subject, and the object, which is the formless  soul.

 When one realizes that true self not ‘I’, then he becomes aware of fact that,  the   true self' is the soul, the substantive of all the three states. With the Knowledge of the true self, the reality associated with the world is falsified.

  Absolutely real is only the soul the innermost  Self, which is present in the form of consciousness. Soul or consciousness is ever present or eternal and never changing and infinite-existence-consciousness.

The false experience of duality (waking) that is seen is falsified or recognized as false after the realization of soul as self. Falsity of the waking is established only with the realization of the soul is the true self

Unreality or illusory nature  of the mind is recognized only when one has the clear understanding that there is only soul,which is in the form consciousness  and, soul or consciousness,  the innermost  Self is real and eternal.

Knowledge of Atman(soul) does not negate the world but negates the reality assigned to the world just as appearance of silver is not negated in the knowledge of nacre but only reality that this is silver is negated with the knowledge that there is no silver here in the object nacre, now or ever.
