In recent years an increasing number of cosmologists, theoretical physicists, and philosophers of science have argued that consciousness is a basic aspect of the cosmos. Sage Sankara has declared this truth in  the 8th century.

The world is believed to be a superimposition on consciousness, which is Brahman or ultimate truth. Superimposition cannot be true.

On the other hand, Sage Sankara claims that the world is not false. It appears false only when compared to Consciousness, which is the ultimate truth or Brahman.

As indicated in the Vedas,  Upanishads and Bhagavad Gita all-pervading consciousness is the basis of all the animate and inanimate entities and material.

Rig Veda: ~ 'Prajnanam Brahma'- Consciousness is the ultimate reality or Brahman or God in truth.

Do not accept any other God other than the Soul. The Soul is God in truth,  Nothing is real but the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness. Nothing matters but realize  God in truth. God in truth is everywhere and in everything. Let these words be inscribed in your subconscious.

God in truth is hidden by the illusory universe. God in truth alone is real and eternal and all else is an illusion.

Brahman is merely a word to indicate the ultimate truth, or God in truth.  The ultimate truth itself is God in truth. 

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 (Gita 14.27)

The Upanishads say in effect that: ~ if you believe that the Soul, which is [resent in the form of consciousness is one and God (Brahman) is another you cannot understand Truth.

Consciousness is ‘Self’-evident. It is not established by extraneous proofs. It is not possible to deny consciousness because it is the very essence of the one who denies it. Consciousness is the basis of all kinds of knowledge, presuppositions, and proofs. Consciousness is the true ‘Self’.

Consciousness is within, consciousness is without; consciousness is before, consciousness is behind; consciousness is on the right, consciousness is on the left; consciousness is above and consciousness below.

Until one thinks of his body as body, ego as ego the universe as the universe, he remains in ignorance because he is still in ignorance and he is unaware of the fact that they too are the consciousness. : ~Santthosh Kumaar
