All the happening within the illusion is bound to be an illusion.+

Suppose that if we are discussing happiness and suffering in a dream, the dream becomes unreal when waking takes place. Similarly, the waking becomes unreal when Advaitic wisdom dawns.

The Advaitic wisdom dawns when you realize the Self is not you, but the Self is the invisible Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness.

From the standpoint of the invisible Soul, the Self, the world in which you exist is merely an illusion.

Thus, all the happenings within the illusion are bound to be an illusion. Until ignorance is there, the world in which you exist prevails as a reality.

When ignorance vanishes through Advaitic wisdom then the world in which you exist which you think as reality becomes an illusion.

Thus, whatever you have seen, known, believed, and experienced as a person within the waking experience is bound to be an illusion created out of consciousness.

Thus, the invisible Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness alone, is real and eternal.

If one says this universe is real, then: ~

A person who stamped his foot on the ground to refute, to show the world, is real, ignores that in a dream he would do exactly the same--stamp his dream foot on the ground and assert it to be real.

Advaitin Sage and Maya:~

The King of the Hoysalas was a dualist and was greatly incensed at the doctrine taught Advaitin Sage that everything here below is an illusion. He wanted to teach the exponent of this doctrine a lesson. So he invited the then Advaitin Sage to his palace. That Advaitin sage went there and stoutly maintained that everything in this world was an illusion. The king had arranged to let loose an infuriated elephant against, Advaitin sage. The beast rushed at Advaitin sage, who took to a precipitate flight to save himself.

'Oh, Venerable Sir,' shouted the king, 'why do you run so fast, seeing that the elephant is only an illusion?'

'Oh, king,' said Advaitin sage in the course of his flight, 'my running too is an illusion. Everything in this world is an illusion.’

Similarly, the practical life within the practical world is merely an illusion. A Gnani is fully aware of ‘what is the truth’ and ‘what is untruth’.

A Gnani e is fully aware of the fact that the experiences the happiness and suffering within the waking experience are merely an illusion because the waking experience itself is an illusion or Maya.

Thus, life within the waking experience will go on, on its own. It is nothing to do with the invisible Soul, the Self. The waking or dream is merely an object to the formless witness.

The invisible Soul, the Self, is the witness. The invisible Soul, the Self, the witness, has nothing to do with the three states, because it is merely a witness of the coming and going of the three states. : ~ Santthosh Kumaar

The Self is not you, but the Self is the invisible Soul, which is hidden by the illusory form, time, and space. If the Self is the invisible...
