Existence is nondual. Nonduality cannot be described by means of words for all uses of language fail to express it.
Any word one may utter is, after all, they are the words and words that have meaning only within the illusory universe or Maya.
The seeker of truth should not become attached to words as being in perfect conformity with meaning because Truth is not in the letters.
The words and their discrimination bind one to the duality; meaning stands alone and is a guide to non-dual awareness. Meaning is attained by much learning, and much learning is attained by becoming conversant with meaning and not with words; therefore, seekers of truth have to avoid the sticklers for particular words.
Nonduality is sought to be indicated by mentally negation of duality (the universe).
Sage Goudpada: ~ To establish the truth of Non-duality by sheer reasoning alone. He begins by defining "What is real?" "What is unreal?" etc, because that is the right way to discuss or teach. People must first know what they are talking about. (Manduka Karika)
Whatever takes form as the duality is false. Only the nondual consciousness endures.
When you understand the truth, beyond the form, time, and space, the duality will never be a reality again. For consciousness is infinite, within and without, like a mirror, and the image in a mirror. Consciousness is everywhere, filling all things and flowing through the dualistic illusion forever.
Consciousness is like a lamp that lights up a theater and reveals both a dancer and a stage.
Ignorance is the cause of experiencing the world as a reality. The world in which we exist is a dualistic illusion. The ‘Self' is hidden within the dualistic illusion and it is without the dualistic illusion.
The mystic must become a constant slave to some line of "thought" or rather imagination, and then he will really see visions confirming his imaginations.
The mystic who sees God in vision has seen Him during the waking state. The waking experience itself is an illusion.
Thus, whatever is seen within the illusion is bound to be an illusion. Thus, it is necessary for the mystic to realize his existence is a reality within the illusion.
Whatever belief of God one is familiar with through his inherited conditioning or samskara that he will see in his visions. When the man is the false Self within the false experience, then whatever he believes is bound to be a falsehood.
Bhagavad Gita: ~ Brahmano hi pratisthaham ~ Brahman (God) is considered the all-pervading consciousness, which is the basis of all the animate and inanimate entities and material. (14.27).
When Bhagavad Gita says, God is considered the all-pervading consciousness which is the basis of all the animate and inanimate entities and material then nothing has to be accepted as God other than consciousness. :~Santthosh Kumaar
