Mentally reduce duality(mind) into nonduality (Soul).+

The seeker has to unfold the mystery of the universe to realize the Self is hidden by the universe, which is illusory in its nature.

The universe is nothing but matter. The matter is merely an illusion created out of the Soul, the Spirit.

Just like ice is created out of the water the universe is created out of the Soul, the Spirit, which is present in the form of consciousness.

The ice is not different from the water the same way the universe is not different consciousness.

The universe is the Avatara of the Soul, the God in truth. The universe is nothing but an illusion created out of God in truth.

The universe ceases to exist without God in truth, which is present in the form of the Spirit or consciousness. Without the universe, God in truth alone exists

Remember:~

Sage Sankara:~ VC -63- "Without knowing and examining the external world, one can’t know the Truth, as the idea that the external world exists, won't go. It can go only by an inquiry into the nature of the external world.

Sage Sankara: ~ “VC~ All this universe which through ignorance appears as of diverse forms, is nothing else but Brahman which is absolutely free from all the limitations of Maya

Sage Sankara says:~ VC 63- Without causing the objective universe to vanish and without knowing the truth of the Self, how is one to achieve Liberation by the mere utterance of the word Brahman? — It would result merely in an effort of speech.

VC-65.- As a treasure hidden underground requires (for its extraction) competent instruction, excavation, the removal of stones and other such things lying above it and (finally) grasping, but never come out by being (merely) called out by name, so the transparent Truth of the Self, which is hidden by Maya and its effects, is to be attained through the instructions of a knower of Brahman, followed by reflection, meditation and so forth, but not through perverted arguments.

VC-66.- Therefore, the wise should, as in the case of disease and the like, personally strive by all the means in their power to be free from the bondage of repeated births and deaths.

Remember:~

The Soul, which is present in the form of the consciousness is the only reality in which the universe exists, to which the universe belongs; from which the universe has emerged, which is the cause of the universe and which itself is uncaused. Thus, the universe is nothing but consciousness.

Sage Sankara: ~ VC~ "All this universe which through ignorance appears as of diverse forms, is nothing else but Brahman(Soul) which is absolutely free from all the limitations of Maya.

The Soul is the Self, the Soul is present in the form of consciousness. Consciousness is the root element of the universe. From consciousness, the universe comes into existence. In consciousness, the universe resides. And into consciousness, the universe is dissolved. consciousness is the parent of all that is there is.

When one realizes mind (matter) and Soul (Spirit), the Self are one in essence then there is no place for the duality. Without duality, the universe ceases to exist as a reality. Without the universe, your existence within the universe is merely an illusion. There is scope for two because everything is created out of single stuff. That single stuff is consciousness or Spirit. The Spirit of consciousness.

~By realizing everything is created out of a single clay and that single clay is consciousness. ~ then you enter the Self-awareness or ‘Oneness’ or Advaita.

Advaita is the rational truth, scientific truth, the ultimate truth, and the universal truth cannot be contradicted. The Advaitic truth was declared by the Sage Sankara, 1200 years back. : ~ Santthosh Kumaar
