Q: ~ CAN ONE SEE CONSCIENCE WITH BEAR EYES OR IT WOULD BE ILLUSIONARY

Suppose if you had asked the same 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 Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness. 

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

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

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
