The matter (universe) is an illusion created out of the Soul, the Spirit, the Spirit is the ultimate truth or Brahman or God in truth.

The Soul, the Spirit has no connection with the matter. The matter is present in the form of the universe. The matter (universe) is an illusion created out of the Soul, the Spirit, the Spirit is the ultimate truth or Brahman or God in truth. 

What is the relation between the Spirit and matter?

The matter is present in the form of the mind. The mind is present in the form of the universe. The universe appears as the waking or dream.

The matter is merely an illusion created out of the Spirit. Thus, the matter is nothing but the Spirit in its essence.

Thus, the world in which we exist is nothing but matter. And the world in which we exist is nothing but an illusion created out of the Spirit.

Till one thinks the Self is an individual separate from the world he will remain in the domain of ignorance. The Self is not an individual because the Self is not ‘you’. You are bound by the birth, life, death, and the world, whereas the Soul, the  Self is birthless and deathless, because it is ever formless, timeless, and spaceless existence.

Intellectuality is based on individuality. Individuality is a falsehood because the Soul, the Self is not an individual because it is a formless, timeless, and spaceless existence.

The Soul is present in the form of consciousness. Consciousness pervades in everything and everywhere in all the three states as their formless substance and the witness.

In the realm of the truth, the formless substance and the witness are one in essence. The essence is consciousness. Thus, consciousness alone is real and all else merely an illusion because there is no second thing that exists other than consciousness. : ~ Santthosh Kumaar
