Ignorant sees the world through an egocentric vision, so he takes the world in which he exists as a reality.

Gnani sees the world in which he exists from soulcentric vision so, he sees the world as nothing but an illusion created out of the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness.

God's appearance through vision is merely a hallucination from the standpoint of the Soul, the Self. All the claims about the appearance of God are not truthful on the base of the Soul as Self.

Even if God appeared to anyone cannot be taken as real, since the waking experience itself is the dualistic illusion or Maya.

Thus, whatever is based on the individual and the world is bound to be a reality within the dualistic illusion or Maya. the dualistic illusion or Maya is present in the form of the 'I'.

The dualistic illusion or Maya is impermanent, which appears and disappears. The permanent is the formless substance and the witness of the dualistic illusion or Maya or 'I'.

There is a need not to doubt that people saw Shiva, Jesus, etc. That they saw visions may be an undeniable fact. But the question is “Was what they saw the Truth?" They no doubt had such vision but they never stopped to inquire if their visions were true.

Remember:~

After years of effort glorifying Christ when Christian closes his eyes and Christ comes to him.

After years of effort glorifying Krishna when a Hindu closes his eyes and Krishna comes to him.

After years of effort glorifying  Buddha when a Buddhist closes his eyes and Buddha comes to him.

After years of effort glorifying Mahavira when a Jain closes his eyes and Mahavira comes to him.

Christ doesn’t come to a Hindu; Mahavira doesn’t come to a Christian. Buddha doesn’t come to a Jain: only the image projected in the subconscious will come. The image became almost solid. It became so real from constant repetition, from continuous remembering, that it seemed the projected deity was standing in from of him. No one was standing there.

Wherever is projected is merely an illusion created out of the consciousness. Any experience is possible only within the domain of the illusory form, time, and space. 

Whatever belongs to the form, time and space is merely an illusion. The illusion is created out of single stuff and that single stuff is the consciousness. The knowledge of the single stuff is Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana.

In Advaitic reality, consciousness alone exists without the illusory division of form, time, and space. There is no second here, no other. From the standpoint of the Soul, form, time and space are merely an illusion.

The seeker has to take all the facts, and then proceed to examine and analyze, how far is it true?”

To talk of seeking God is as meaningless as saying "seeking dog". It is only a hollow word. One must realize God in truth. :~Santthosh Kumaar
