The universe is the dualistic illusion or Maya. The Maya is present in the form of the universe. The dualistic illusion is the product of ignorance.
Bhagavad Gita says: ~ Brahmano hi pratisthaham ~ Brahman (God) is considered the all-pervading consciousness, which is the basis of all the animate and inanimate entities and material. (14.27).
Rig Veda: ~ 'Prajnanam Brahma'-Consciousness is the ultimate reality or Brahman or God in truth.
Do not accept any other God other than the Soul. The Soul is God in truth. Nothing is real but the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness. Nothing matters but realizing God in truth. God in truth is everywhere and in everything. Let these words be inscribed in your subconscious.
God in truth, is hidden by the illusory universe. God in truth alone is real and eternal, and all else is an illusion.
Brahman is merely a word to indicate the ultimate truth or God in truth. The ultimate truth itself is God in truth.
Consciousness, the God in truth, is Self-evident. It is not established by extraneous proof. It is not possible to deny God in truth because God in truth is the very essence of the one who denies God in truth. God, in truth, is the basis of all kinds of knowledge, presuppositions, and proofs.
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 Maya.
Due to ignorance, the universe has arisen. The universe is the dualistic illusion or Maya.
Without ignorance, the invisible Soul, the Self, which is present in the form of consciousness alone, shines as the ultimate truth or Brahman or God in truth.
Remember:~
In fact, Sage Sankara states a paradox- the world is and is not. It is neither real nor unreal. It leads us to recognize the existence of Maya (illusion). He thinks that the world is illusory from one perspective and from the second it is nothing but Brahman (God in truth), Itself in manifestation. This apparent world is Maya and has its basis in Brahman, the Eternal. It looks real. It has names and forms, and actually, it is not really in the light of true knowledge; it disappears, and Self-alone shines as real. However, Sage Sankara's Mayavada has not been accepted by many preachers and philosophers.
When Sage Sankara says clearly, the universe is not real. He says that Brahman and Atman are one. The ultimate and absolute truth is the Self, which is one, though appearing as many in different individuals. The individual has no reality. Only the Soul, the Self, is Real; the rest, mental and physical, are but passing appearances. Then it indicates the form (waking or duality or mind) is unreal, and the formless soul (consciousness or soul) is real. Therefore, only Atman is real because there is no second thing that exists other than Atman, which is in the form of consciousness. , :~Santthosh Kumaar
