The Advaitic path is not meant for those who see the world as a reality but for those who want to realize the truth.+
From a dualistic perspective, the world is real. From a non-dualistic standpoint, the world is non-existent as a reality.
Those who view the world in a dualistic perspective perceive it as reality, and their knowledge is limited to form, time, and space.
From the non-dualistic perspective, the form, time, and space are one in essence.
The universe is nothing but an illusion created out of a single clay. That single clay is the Spirit or Soul, or consciousness.
When you finally realize the ‘Self ‘ is not you, but the Self is the invisible Soul, then you will realize that the world in which you exist is merely an illusion created out of the invisible Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness.
Thus, you, your experience of birth, life, death, and the world, are merely an illusion created out of consciousness; consciousness is the ultimate truth or Brahman or God in truth.
The world is both real and unreal. It is real because it is a manifestation of consciousness, but it is unreal, in the sense that it is not absolute and eternal like consciousness itself.
People's approach is more practical, and they stick with the reality of the world; they take it as real. That is why all the confusion.
In Self-awareness, the witness and the witnessed are one in essence. That essence is consciousness. There is no second thing that exists other than consciousness.
Thus, whatever is seen, known, believed, and experienced as a person is a reality within the waking experience (duality), but waking experience (duality) itself is merely an illusion. : ~ Santthosh Kumaar
