Though the three states appear as real on the dawn of non-dualistic knowledge, their unreal nature is exposed.+

The look of an object will depend upon the medium through which the observer views it. In fact, our mental and intellectual conditions determine the world, observed and experienced. The commoner viewing the world will see it differently from a Gnani viewing the same world. Each one interprets the world that they see in terms of their existing knowledge. The commoner sees everything based on the ego; therefore, experiences the birth, life, death, and the world as a reality, whereas a Gnani sees everything as consciousness, and he is fully aware of the fact that there is no second thing exists other than the Soul or consciousness.

Thus, all the egocentric knowledge has to be bifurcated to realize the ultimate truth, which is beyond form, time, and space.

Anubhav, in the Advaitic context, is not an experience, but it is the realization of the invisible Soul, the Self hidden by ignorance.

Remember:~

The waking experience, which is referred to as the witnessed and the invisible Soul, the Self.

The invisible Soul, the Self which is present in the form of consciousness, referred to as the witness of the witnessed, is wrongly looked upon by every one of us as equally real, though the waking experience has no reality in the absolute sense.

The invisible Soul, the Self, which is present in the form of consciousness, is the ultimate reality or Brahman.

The waking experience appears to be real in the same manner as when a rope is mistaken for a snake; the illusory snake appears to be real.

The snake is said to be superimposed on the rope. The body and the world are within the waking experience. The waking experience is an object to the invisible Soul; the Self is the subject.

All three states are objects to the invisible Soul, the Self, which is the subject. One finds that the object and the subject are of different natures.

Their relationship is of the form of superimposition of each on the other, as also of their qualities, as a consequence of the absence of discrimination between the real nature of the witnessed and the witness of the witnessed.

This is like the association of a rope, nacre, etc., with the superimposed snake, silver, etc, owing to the absence of discrimination between them. The association of the witnessed and the witness of the witnessed in the form of superimposition is described as false knowledge.

After having known the distinction between, and the nature of, the witnessed and the witness of the witnessed, one becomes aware that the witness and the witnessed are one in essence. And that essence is consciousness.

Thus, from the ultimate standpoint, there is no second thing that exists other than consciousness; hence, it is nondual.

He who realizes the witness of the witnessed are one in essence, and who has the firm conviction realizes the three states are unreal. Though the three states appear as real on the dawn of non-dualistic wisdom, their unreal nature is exposed. :~Santthosh Kumaar
