What is illusion? Illusion is where one is bound birth, life,
death and universe, and one sees everything on the base of waking entity or
dream entity. Illusion and attachment are also created out of consciousness;
consciousness itself deludes through the illusion. Waking entity or dream entity is ego. Egocentric
does pious acts, but he does not the consciousness is the ultimate truth and
wastes his life away with his inherited beliefs and accumulated knowledge.
The one, who becomes aware of the fact that the consciousness is
ultimate reality, is eternally becomes free from experiencing the illusion as
reality.
The waking or dream, body and the universe are part and parcel
of the illusion. When the waking or dream is present the body and the universe
is present. If waking or dream is not there the body and the universe cease to
exist. The waking or dream, body and the universe are within the mind. If mind
is there universe is there. Thus mind
itself is universe. Limiting the mind to the physical entity is cause of the
experiencing the illusion as reality.
Clinging to waking or dream is clinging to illusion. Clinging to illusion is clinging to ignorance. Clinging to ignorance is clinging is clinging to the illusory experience of birth life, death and universe as reality. By accepting the experience of birth, life, death and universe as reality are accepting the unreality as reality. Therefore, there is a need to know the one which is aware of mind (the experience of birth, life, death and universe) is not the body which is born lives and dies within the universe, but the soul, which is in the form of consciousness.

One tries to grasp illusion, but it eludes his grasp. “When one
abandoned and discards illusion with by accepting the truth that, the
consciousness is the true self, then the ignorance disappears and the reality
starts revealing itself. Ignorance
gives birth to the mind, which is illusion. The mind rises and subsides from
the Soul.
Illusion is intoxicating material. It grips everyone and everything within the duality. Because it pervades and grips everywhere and everything in duality everyone becomes unaware of the reality. No one has known thy bare reality. Only who are discovered the true self and attuned mentally to the soul, which is in the form of consciousness, realize the duality is mere mirage created out of Consciousness.

Illusion
has affected the three states, and physical discipline erases not its effect;
and men, involved in Strife, are intoxicated with its intoxication are immersed
in manipulating the high and low of their physical life. Only through Self-knowledge one will be able
to overcome the intoxication of illusion.
"When
a person is sleeping soundly, free from dreams, with a still mind, that is the
Self, fearless and deathless. That is Brahman, the supreme." - Chandogya Upanishad
