The dream becomes unreal when waking takes palace. 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 happening within the illusion is bound to be an illusion.
Until ignorance is there, the world in which you exist prevails as a reality.
The visions are dualistic and have no value as truth. Vision has its pragmatic value but people fail to stop and ask, "What is the ultimate meaning of this experience?" Therefore, the inquiry is needed to realize ‘What is the truth?’ ‘What is untruth?’
People object to introducing inquiry into the quest to adopt an attitude as though it were like introducing something which is not sacred.
Ignorance blocks people from realizing the truth hidden by the untruth because he has accepted the untruth as to the ultimate truth.
People are unaware of the ultimate truth, which is Brahman or God in truth.
The ultimate truth, or Brahman or God, can be realized only when he realizes the Self hidden by the ‘I’. The invisible Self, the Spirit is God in truth, not the ‘I’. Only those who realize the Spirit as the Self are real Gnani.
When reality appears this ignorance which one thinks as reality becomes unreal.
Like an ornament made from gold is Gold, which is born out of the Spirit (God in truth) is Spirit. Like gold is the permanent thing, in ornaments made of gold, similarly, the universe is born out of the Spirit, is Spirit in its essence.
Only through Advaitic wisdom, it is possible to realize the God in truth hidden by the veil of ignorance. Ignorant people take God for granted without realizing what God is in actuality. Realization of what God is necessary to become real.
When ignorance vanishes through Advaitic wisdom then the world in which you exist which you think as reality becomes an illusion.
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. : ~Santthosh Kumaar
