The world in which you exist is superimposed on the Soul or Brahman or God in truth.+

The world in which you exist is superimposed on the Soul, or Brahman, or God. The one who realizes the invisible Soul as the Self transcends as the invisible Soul. One who thinks ‘I’ itself is the Self will remain in dualistic illusion, experiencing it as a reality.

Even the Vedas indicate that the Self is the invisible Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness:-

v Tat tvam asi: -Thou art That. 'The Self is that” (Sam Veda)

v Prajnanam Brahma: - Consciousness is the ultimate reality (Rig Veda).

v Ayam Aatma Brahma: -The Self is the ultimate truth (Atharva Veda).

v Aham Brahma Asmi: -Self is the ultimate reality (Yajur Veda)

Brihadaranyaka Upanishad: ~ Brahman (God) is present in the form of the Athma, and it is indeed Athma itself.

Sage Sankara said: ~ Just as the snake is superimposed on the rope, this world and this body are superimposed on Brahman ( Godin truth), the Soul, the Self. If one gets knowledge of the rope, the illusion of the snake will vanish. Even so, if he gets knowledge of Brahman, the illusion of the body and the world will vanish.

The snake is only an idea: it disappears on inquiry, but deeper Self-search reveals the fact that the rope is also an idea, and its reality will be exposed when wisdom dawns. There is neither snake nor rope in reality because, from the ultimate standpoint, the duality is merely an illusion created out of consciousness.

The invisible Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness, is the root element of the universe. From consciousness, the universe comes into existence. In consciousness, the universe resides. And into consciousness, the universe is dissolved. Consciousness is the parent of all that is there. Consciousness is the ultimate truth or Brahman. Brahman is God in truth.

Consciousness is the only reality, and the universe too, but an illusory manifestation.

The invisible Soul is not limited to an individual. The individuals are many, but the Soul is one. The individual exists within the universe. The invisible Soul is the cause of the universe, and it, itself, is uncaused.

The invisible Soul is not within the human body. The universe is an illusion created out of a single stuff. That single stuff is the invisible Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness. Thus, whatever universe contains is bound to be the invisible Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness.

Like an ornament made from gold is Gold, which is born out of consciousness, is consciousness. Like gold is a permanent thing, in ornaments made of gold, similarly, the mind, which is in the form of the universe, is born out of consciousness, is consciousness in its essence.

Deep self-search reveals that you are not the Self; the world in which you exist is the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness, but consciousness is specifically not an entity or identity or a thing within the world in which you exist. But it is the cause of the world in which you exist, and it, itself, is uncaused.

The invisible Soul is hidden within the world in which you exist. The nature of the Soul is a formless, timeless, and spaceless existence.

Thus, it is necessary to realize the world in which you exist is created out single stuff, which is consciousness. Consciousness is the ultimate truth, or Brahman or God in truth. Thus, God alone is real; the world in which you exist is merely an illusion created out of consciousness. : ~ Santthosh Kumaar
