Consciousness is the cause of the universe and from the standpoint of the invisible Soul, the Self, the universe is merely an illusion.
Sage Sankara: ~ “VC~ All this universe, which through ignorance appears as of diverse forms, is nothing else but Brahman (Consciousness) which is absolutely free from all the limitations of human thought.
When you finally realize the Self is not you but the Self is the invisible Soul, then you will realize the world in which you exist is merely an illusion created out of the invisible Soul. The invisible Soul is present in the form of consciousness.
Sage Sankara says: - VC-47 All the effects of ignorance, root, and branch, are burnt down by the fire of knowledge, which arises from discrimination between these two—the Self and the non-Self.
Till you think you are an individual separate from the world and the world that existed prior to you and you are born in it afterward ignorance will prevail as a reality. Till ignorance is there the universe prevails as a reality.
Until you become aware that the universe is an illusory reality and the invisible Soul, the Self is hidden by the illusory universe you will remain in the domain of ignorance.
This universe is only the veil of ignorance on the invisible Soul, the Self, which is present in the form of consciousness.
The Self is not you but the invisible Soul, which is hidden by the universe.
The invisible Soul is hidden by the illusory universe because the universe is merely a dualistic illusion or Maya created out of the invisible Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness.
Remember: ~ All is consciousness. The whole universe is consciousness. From consciousness, the universe comes. When the universe disappears, the consciousness still remains without form, time, and space :~Santthosh Kumaar
