Swami Vivekananda: ~ “Advaita encompasses everything. Since Advaita requires heavy-duty intellectualism, it had to be progressively simplified.
It is not you but the Soul, the Self is caught up in the illusory universe or Maya because you are part and parcel of the illusory universe in which you exist.
It is not you, who has to be free, but it is the Soul the 'Self' has to be free itself from the illusory universe or Maya.
The Soul, the Self is caught up in the grip of ignorance. It is not you who is in ignorance. It is the Soul the Self that is in ignorance of its non-dual true nature.
People want to get freedom, but the freedom comes only when the Soul wakes up without the illusory body and the illusory world (duality). It is the Soul the Self is in the cage of illusion.
It is the Soul that wants to get out of the illusion because the illusion and the reality are one in essence. That essence is the Soul which is present in the form of consciousness.
Thus, all that man experiences within the dualistic illusion of practical life within the practical world and seeing the vision, speaking to God, seeing God are a reality within the dualistic illusion.
From the non-dualistic perspective, there is no second thing that exists other than consciousness (Spirit).
Consciousness is the ultimate truth or Brahman or God in truth. From the standpoint of Brahman or God, everything is Brahman or God in truth.:~ Santthosh Kumaar
