People never accept the universe is illusion it is because they are part
and parcel of that illusion. The reality of the illusory universe often
confuses people.
The universe is reality on the base of false entity (ego or waking entity) within the
false experience [waking]. The universe is
an illusion on the standpoint the soul, which is the innermost self. The soul
is in the form of formless consciousness. This is because of some logical reasons. First analyze definition of Truth, and hence why the universe is not considered true.
The wisdom consists in knowing the
truth, that everything [mind or physical existence] is consciousness. Freedom (truth) is always there yet one does not know it. But to those whose reason is turned away from
physicality and who have attained the serenity of the soul or consciousness, the innermost self
are quite near to the ultimate truth.
To think once own body and his
experience of the world is an illusion is difficult matter, unless one realizes
the self is not physical but it is formless soul it is difficult to have
glimpse of truth.
When one realizes the fact that, the self is not physical but the formless soul, naturally the body and universe becomes illusion.
The mind or universe is emanating from
soul or consciousness means the mind is being effect from consciousness is not
different from it. Deeper analysis shows it. Analysis needs deeper thinking and
reasoning. Mind is whole universe thus it has a form. But where is the form in
consciousness (soul) because consciousness is like an ocean and mind is like
wave. The universe is same
consciousness, as the ocean produces the wave, so the consciousness produces
the mind (universe).
The moment one knows the mind (universe) is consciousness, and then there is no ignorance. If one knows
consciousness as self then everything is consciousness, the consciousness is
second to none. The mind is
consciousness but due to ignorance one mistakes it for something else. One
thinks the self is within the body; but the self is without the body and the
world.
Mind ceases to exist without the matter. Without the matter mind
ceases to exist as mind but it exists as matter- less awareness or
consciousness. Without the mind neither the world nor its perceiver can exist.
Without the matter there is no duality. Without duality there is no experience. Without experience it is non-dual reality. Therefore, whatever prevails without the mind is ultimate reality.
The true nature of the soul or consciousness is camouflaged by
the illusion or duality. To know the truth
one has to discover and realize the formless substance of the mind or illusion.
One has to learn to view and judge the worldview on the standpoint the formless
soul as self.
Self-Knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana is the
prime goal of the truth seeker. This goal is hidden within the mind as its
invisible substance and witness. Therefore, it is necessary inquiry, analyze
and reason in to the nature of mind or duality or illusion in order to unfold the
mystery of mind or duality or illusion.
The person, who stamped their foot on the ground to refute to show the
world, is real, ignore that in dream he would do exactly the same--stamp his
dream foot on the ground and assert it to be real.
Whatever thing remains
eternal is true, and whatever is non-eternal is untrue. Since the world is
created and destroyed, it is not true.
Truth is the thing which is unchanging. Since the world is changing, it is not true.
Whatever is independent of space and time is true, and whatever has space and time in itself is untrue.
Just as one sees dreams in sleep, he sees a kind of super-dream when he is waking. The world is compared to this conscious dream.
The universe is mere mirage created out of consciousness. Mirage cannot be true.
