All this universe which through ignorance appears as of diverse forms, is nothing else but Consciousness.+

If you realize that the whole universe is just an illusion created out of the Infinite Soul you will realize the universe is a temporary manifestation, which appears and disappears.

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.

When you finally realize the ‘‘Self’ ‘is not you but the ‘‘Self’’ is the Soul then you will realize the world in which you exist is merely an illusion created out of the Soul. The 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.

All is consciousness. The whole universe is consciousness. From consciousness, the universe comes. When the universe disappears, consciousness still remains without form, time, and space

Remember:~

The Self is not you but the Soul, which is hidden by the universe. Until you think the ‘Soul, the Self’ is within you, you will never be able to realize God in truth. God in truth is not limited to you but it pervades in everything and everywhere in the world in which you exist.

Those who speak of the ‘Self is within ‘you’ are propagating half-baked knowledge made their own cocktail propagated it as nonduality or Advaita.

The Self is the Soul is the cause of you and the world in which you exist. Your individual experience of birth, life, and the world is nothing to do with the Soul, the Self because you and your individual experience of birth, life, and the world is merely an illusion created out of the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness.

You are not you but consciousness; your body is not the body but consciousness, the world in which you exist is not the world but consciousness.

Everything is known, seen, believed, and experienced by you is nothing but consciousness then what else remains, which is not consciousness.

There is nothing else to realize other than to realize consciousness alone is, everything else is merely an illusion created out of consciousness. : ~ Santthosh Kumaar
