Those who are frightened to accept the world is mere illusion should never indulge path of wisdom.

After verifying through deeper inquiry if one finds the world is the reality within the illusion then he cannot again say the world is not an illusion.

If one is frightened to accept the world is an illusion (waking) then he is unfit to acquire Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana.  Thus who stuck with the reality of the world, are stuck with the reality of the individual experiences of birth, life and death, which takes place within the unreal world. Thus the pursuit of truth is for those who have courage to accept the reality as it is, that is the reality without form, time and space.

According to Adavaita Vedanta, the Veda addresses itself to two kinds of audiences - the ordinary ones who desire the transitory heaven and other pleasures obtained as a result of ritual sacrifices, and the more advanced seeker who seeks to know Brahman. Thus, the purva mimam.sa, with its emphasis on the karma kanda of the Vedas, is meant for the first audience, to help lead its followers along the way. However, the Vedanta, with its emphasis on the jnana kanda, is meant for those who wish to go beyond such transient pleasures.

Sri, Sankara says in Brahma Sutras: that Brahman is the cause of the world, whereas in Mandukya he denies it. This is because he says that at the lower stage of understanding, the former teaching must be given, for people will get frightened as they cannot understand how the world can be without a cause, but to those in a higher stage, the truth of non-causality can be revealed.

Those who are frightened to accept the world is mere illusion should never indulge path of wisdom.

Diversity is mere mirage.

The breath, the body, the name, all the forms and shapes the universe, “it’s all the same like branches of a tree just as one goes deeper and deeper one becomes aware of the fact that, the self is not physical but self is consciousness. And diversity is mere mirage. The one who realizes the consciousness is the true self, he shall be free from experiencing the mirage as reality.

One has lost himself in the game of form, time and space. When one is able to lift the veil of form, time and space mentally then the truth will shine as nondual existence.

Self-knowledge is nothing but just dissolution of the mind into consciousness. One has to go beyond, emotions, sensations and thoughts and feelings and through perfect understand it can be acquired.

One should not get stuck with accumulated knowledge but to flow towards nondual reality, which is the ultimate truth. Nondual Silence which is not loneliness, but it is the source from where the mind rises and subsides.

Inquiry, analysis and reasoning is the path, process as well as the goal. So the inner journey reaches towards the nondual destination to become one with the “WHOLE”

Self is not ‘you’ but the self is that witnesses ‘you and the world’ together without the physical apparatus.  You are the false self(ego or waking entity) within the false experience(waking) bound by birth, life and death and form, time and space whereas the ‘Self ‘ is birthless and deathless because it is formless.  Thus self is not limited to waking state alone because it pervades in everything and everywhere in all the three states.   Thus limiting the ‘self’ to waking entity alone is cause of the ignorance.  

The dream entity (you) and the dream world becomes falsehood when waking takes place. Similarly the waking entity (you) and the waking world become falsehood when wisdom dawns.  Wisdom dawns when waking entity (you) realizes it itself is not the self but the self is that which witnesses the coming and going of the three states.   The witness and the three states are one in essence. That essence is consciousness (Atman).

Thus consciousness is ultimate truth or Brahman. Atman is second to none.  

Thus one has to know ‘What is mind? ‘What is the substance of the mind?’  and ‘What is the source of the mind?’ in order to realize the non-dualistic or Advaitic truth.

Consciousness is within this universe but it is not of this universe.

Consciousness is the true Self. Consciousness is within this universe but it is not of this universe. It is in this universe, but not of this universe means it is the formless substance and witness of the universe, which is in the form of the mind [I]. The mind [I] appears as waking or dream and disappears as deep sleep. The self who is in the form of consciousness is the formless knower of the mind, which comes and goes.   Consciousness is above; it is transcendental to all the miseries, which are inevitable in this illusory universe.  Therefore, there is a need to realize the fact that, the mind, which is in the form of universe is mere mirage created out consciousness.   Thus, the birth, life, death and world are mere mirage on the stand point of the consciousness, which is the true self. Only on the base of physical self the universe is reality.  Thus the Self is within the universe but it is without the universe.

Only a Gnani alone can actually create the awareness of the truth. He can enliven and illuminate others to get out of this ignorance by being transcendental to the illusory birth, life, death and the universe. Gnani tries to guide the seekers get rid of the inherited ignorance and, rise above the egocentric concepts, be in this universe, but not of this universe, be in tune with the consciousness, which is his  true identity and the ultimate truth.

This material existence is mere mirage. It is like a wax in the candle it will burn away.  All attempts for freedom is possible only when one is ready to overcome the ignorance. To overcome the ignorance is possible only when one realizes the birth, life, death and the world are mere illusion created out of consciousness.  The consciousness is ultimate truth. And the one who knows this truth knows the knower [consciousness] is free from the known [mind].  

Through Self-knowledge, all of one’s egocentric successes and all of his credible accomplishments within the duality are ultimately evaporated and consciousness alone will prevail as nondual existence.

Those who grasp that body and world are created out of consciousness belong to the highest grade of intellects.

Yoga is only valuable tool to bring seeker to indifference to sensation and sense perception and thus prepare him for belief in and pursuit of perfection as an attainable goal.  

The intellectuals cannot get over their tallest hurdle, not because they cannot see that the body is also part of the waking experience because they are so strongly attached to the body that they modify or fit their theories to please this attachment. In short, they refuse to give up the body. And they view, judge and concludes everything on the base of body [‘I’] as self.  

People, who think body and world are real, are fit for yoga and mysticism, which is for the middling class of intelligence. Those who grasp that body and world are created out of consciousness  belong to the highest grade of intellects.

Consciousness, which is the Self, is the only reality

Consciousness, which is the Self, is the only reality. 'Reality' is defined as that which does not undergo any change at any time. Consciousness, which is absolutely changeless and eternal, is alone real.


The mind, which is in the form of universe, keeps on changing all the time and so it cannot be considered as real. People cannot dismiss it as unreal, because they are unaware of the fact that, their existence is dependent on something unknown to them.

The mirage is being mistaken for real. The mirage so seen produces the effect of reality. Thus universe seen is in the form of mirage therefore its reality is limited to the mirage alone. On verification through deeper inquiry, analysis and reasoning it is found that the universe or mind never existed and that the consciousness alone was there all the time.

The mind cannot be described as both real and unreal, because these two contradictory qualities cannot exist in the same substance. It must therefore be said that the mind is neither real nor unreal because it is mere mirage.

Mind is myth because it is mere mirage. ‘Universe appears to exist as real because of our ignorance of consciousness. Thus the mind, which is in the form of universe, is reality on the base of the physical self, which perceives the world as a person, within the mind.

Man and universe exist as real because of ignorance of consciousness, which is the true self. This ignorance not only covers consciousness, but it projects the universe as a reality. The universe has no reality apart from consciousness. When the knowledge of consciousness arises, the universe is seen as a mere appearance of consciousness.
