When ignorance vanishes through Advaitic wisdom then the world in which you exist which you think as reality becomes an illusion.+

Suppose if you had asked the some question in a dream, the dream becomes unreal when waking takes palace. Similarly, the waking becomes unreal when Advaitic wisdom dawns.

The Advaitic wisdom dawns when you realize the ‘Self’ is not you but the ‘Self’ is the invisible Soul, which is present in the form of  consciousness.

From the standpoint of the Soul, the Self, the world in which you exist is merely an illusion. Thus, all the happenings within the illusion are bound to be an illusion. Until ignorance is there, the world in which you exist prevails as a reality.

When ignorance vanishes through Advaitic wisdom then the world in which you exist which you think as reality becomes an illusion.

Remember: ~

You, your body, and the universe in which you are born and going to die are created out of single clay and that single clay is the Soul or consciousness.

Soul, the Self is unborn eternal. The Soul has neither birth nor death because it is ever formless, timeless, and spaceless existence.

It is foolish to discuss birth and death, which are part and parcel of the illusory universe, or Maya in Atmic discussion, which is based on the Soul, the Self, which is unborn eternal.

Prior to birth (illusory universe), there was only consciousness. After death (illusory universe), only consciousness will prevail as eternal existence.

Sage  Goudapada quotes from the Upanishads: ~ "There's no plurality here"; "The Soul through its powers appears to be many"; "those who are attached to the creation or production or origination go to utter darkness"; "the unborn is never reborn, for what can produce it?”

Sage Goudapada’s rational exposition of Advaita:~ Whatever is seen, whether external or internal, whether by the ordinary persons or yogis, is unreal.

Thus, whatever you have seen, known, believed, and experienced as a person within the waking experience is bound to be an illusion created out of consciousness. Thus, the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness alone, is real and eternal.

Consciousness is ever-present. Without consciousness, the world in which you exist ceases to exist. Consciousness is Self-evident. It is not established by extraneous proofs. It is not possible to deny consciousness because it is the very essence of the one who denies it. 

Consciousness is the basis of all kinds of knowledge, presuppositions, and proofs. Consciousness is everything. Thus, consciousness is the ultimate truth or Brahman. : ~ Santthosh Kumaar
