If one is frightened to accept the world is an illusion (waking) then he is unfit to acquire Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana.
Those who are stuck with the reality of the world are stuck with the reality of the individual experiences of birth, life, and death, which take place within the unreal world.
Thus, the pursuit of truth is for those who have the courage to accept reality as it is, that is the reality without form, time, and space.
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 human thought.
When you finally realize the Self is not you but the Self is the invisible Soul then you will realize the world in which you exist is merely an illusion created out of the invisible Soul. The invisible 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.
Till you think you are an individual separate from the world and the world that existed prior to you and you are born in it afterward, the ignorance will prevail as a reality. As long as ignorance is there, the universe prevails as reality.
The invisible Soul is the Self. The invisible Soul is present in the form of consciousness. Consciousness is that which knows everything, that which sees. Consciousness alone remains after one gets rid of all thoughts and ideas by identification with the Self.
Consciousness is only the seer; it is not Brahman that is an error. It becomes Brahman only after a deeper inquiry and Soulcentric reasoning. :~ Santthosh Kumaar
