The duality is present only when the form, time, and space are present. The form, time, and space are present in the form of the universe.+

The duality is present only when the form, time, and space are present. The form, time, and space are present in the form of the universe.

The form, time, and space are one, in essence. The ego, body, and the world are one, in essence. That essence is consciousness. Thus, there is no division in consciousness in reality.

Sage Goudapada quotes from the Upanishads: ~ "There's no plurality here"; "The Soul through its powers appears to be many"; "those who are attached to the creation or production or origination go to utter darkness"; "the unborn is never reborn, for what can produce it?”

Sage Goudapada’s rational exposition of Advaita:~ Whatever is seen, whether external or internal, whether by the ordinary persons or yogis, is unreal.

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.

Consciousness is ever-present. Without consciousness, the world in which you exist ceases to exist. 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 everything. Thus, consciousness is the ultimate truth or Brahman or God in truth.

The invisible Soul, the Self, is the fullness of consciousness without the division of form, time, and space. The thinker, thought, and the world are one, in essence. When the Self is realized, then there is no division of form, time, and space.

A Gnani is fully aware of the fact that his body, his ego, and his experience of the world are merely an illusion created out of consciousness, whereas the ignorant think that the experience of birth, life, death, and the world is a reality. The ignorant view everything from a dualistic perspective, whereas a Gnani views everything from a non-dualistic perspective.

So long as one is in the realm of duality, one has to explain how or why one thing came from another, and contradictory views are expressed. But when a Gnani shows, there is no second, there is no production, and the contradictions do not arise at all when the ultimate thing is consciousness alone. Thus, consciousness is the ultimate truth or Brahman or God in truth.

The dualists’ arguments are based on the dualistic perspective (ego). They are at their wits' end to explain to show the weakness of the position of the dualistic viewpoint.

From the non-dualistic perspective, the duality itself is an illusion. There is no division in reality. All the dualistic viewpoints are a reality within the dualistic illusion.

From the dualistic standpoint, Existence cannot be a cause and effect at the same time, but from the non-dualistic perspective, the Existent is not two, and causality can’t arise at all.

The dualistic theory says that whatever was in the cause was also in the effect. They say that the gold brick, the gold medal, the gold ornaments -are in the seed ~ the gold.

From the non-dualistic perspective: If cause and effect are one, what is the difference between the two? The effect is merely an illusion. Thus, from a nondualistic perspective, there is neither the cause nor the effect.  : ~ Santthosh Kumaar
