People never accept that the universe is an illusion, it is because they are part and parcel of that illusory universe. The reality of the illusory universe often confuses people.
Only when one acquires Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana then he realize the world in which he exists is merely an illusion created out of the invisible Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness.
The universe is an illusion from the standpoint of the invisible Soul, which is the Self. The invisible Soul is in the form of consciousness.
This is because of some logical reasons. First, you have to analyze the definition of truth and hence why the universe is not considered as a reality.
People who strongly believe this world is real must realize: ~
A person who stamped his foot on the ground to refute, to show the world, is real, ignores that in the dream he would do exactly the same--stamp his dream foot on the ground and assert it to be real.
When you finally realize the ‘Self ‘ is not you, but the Self is the invisible Soul, the Self, then you will realize the world in which you exist is merely an illusion created out of the invisible Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness.
Thus, you, your experience of birth, life, death, and the world merely an illusion created out of consciousness; consciousness is the ultimate truth or Brahman or God in truth.
The world is both real and unreal. It is real because it is a manifestation of consciousness, but it is unreal, in the sense that it is not absolute and eternal like consciousness itself.
People's approach is more practical, and they are stuck with the reality of the illusory world; they take it as real. That is why all the confusion.
In Self-awareness-- the witness and the witnessed are one in essence. That essence is consciousness. There is no second thing that exists other than consciousness.
Thus, whatever is seen, known, believed, and experienced as a person is a reality within the waking experience (duality), but waking experience (duality) itself is merely an illusion created out of consciousness. : ~ Santthosh Kumaar
