People think Advaita is the best because the Vedas say so. One can arrive at the same conclusion without any scriptures by Soulcentric reasoning.
The habitual reasoning based on the “ego” as the Self has to be discarded to grasp, assimilate, and realize the Advaitic truth, which is beyond the form, time, and space
The whole Advaitic teaching can be summed up into one sentence, ‘There is nothing else but Brahman. It says that Absolute Existence, Absolute Knowledge, and Absolute awareness are real. The universe is not real. It says that Brahman and Atman are one. The ultimate and the Absolute Truth is the Self, which is one though appearing as many in different individuals. The individual has no reality. Only the Self is real; the rest, mental and physical are but passing appearances.
In fact, Sage Sankara states a paradox- the world is and is not. It is neither real nor unreal. It leads us to recognize the existence of Maya (illusion). He thinks that the world is illusory from one perspective and from the second it is nothing but Brahman, Itself in manifestation. This apparent world is Maya and has its basis in Brahman, the Eternal. It looks as real. It has names and forms and actually, it is not real In the light of true knowledge, it disappears and Self-alone shines as real. However, Sage Sankar’s Mayavada has not been accepted by many preachers and philosophers.
When Sage Sankara says clearly, the universe is not real. He says that Brahman and Atman are one. The ultimate and the Absolute Truth is the Self, which is one though appearing as many in different individuals. The individual has no reality. Only the Self is real; the rest, mental and physical are but passing appearances,
So, it indicates the form (waking) is unreal and the formless Soul (consciousness) is real. Therefore, only the Soul is real because there is no second thing that exists other than the Soul n, which is present in the form of consciousness. :~Santthosh Kumaar
