The difference between a Gnani and a commoner is a Gnani is fully aware of the truth, which is hidden by the ‘I’ whereas the commoner holds the ‘I’ as a reality.
For a Gnani, the world in which he exists is merely an illusion created out of the Soul, the Self. the commoner, the world in which he exists is a reality.
The look of an object will depend upon the medium through which the observer views it. In fact, our mental and intellectual conditions determine the world, observed, and experienced. The commoner viewing the world will see differently from a Gnani viewing the same world. Each one interprets the world that they see in terms of their existing knowledge. The commoner sees everything based on the ego, therefore, experiences the birth, life, death, and the world as a reality, whereas a Gnani sees everything as the consciousness and he is fully aware of the fact that, there is no second thing that exists other than the Soul or the consciousness. Thus, all the egocentric (religious) adulteration has to be bifurcated to realize the ultimate truth, which is beyond form, time, and space. : ~ Santthosh Kumaar
