Until ignorance is there, the illusory universe in which you exist prevails as a reality.+

Q :~Matt Pedro:~ Santthosh Kumaar blessings to you. If everything is an illusion, do you eat and drink, take a shower, and go to the washroom? Then why do you eat that is physical? Just asking so I can have a better understanding

 A:~ Santthosh Kumaar:-  Suppose if you had asked the same question 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 illusory universe are bound to be an illusion. Until ignorance is there, the illusory universe in which you exist prevails as a reality.

When ignorance vanishes through Advaitic wisdom, then the world in which you exist, which you think of 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.:~Santthosh Kumaar
