Mundaka Upanishad:~ As rivers flow into the sea and in so doing lose name and form, so even the wise man, freed from name and form, attains the Supreme Being, the Self-luminous, the Infinite. He who knows Brahman becomes Brahman. ~ 3.2.8-
Bhagavad Gita: ~ Brahmano hi pratisthaham ~ Brahman (God) is considered the all-pervading consciousness, which is the basis of all the animate and inanimate entities and material. (14.27).
Rig Veda:~ 'Prajnanam Brahma'- Consciousness is the ultimate reality or Brahman or God in truth.
A Gnani sees the universe which confronts him as consciousness. Gnani sees everything he sees as consciousness because he is fully aware of the fact his body and the world in which he exists are merely an illusion created out of consciousness. Consciousness is nothing but God in truth.
In Self-awareness, There is neither seer nor seen. In Self-awareness, the Soul remains in its own awareness in the midst of the dualistic illusion or Maya.
The Soul is the fullness of consciousness without the illusory division of illusory form, time, and space.
Like an ornament made from gold is Gold, that which is born out of consciousness is consciousness. Like gold is the 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.
The Soul is everything and is everything is nothing but consciousness. The Soul is infinite and the dualistic illusion filled by the infinite.
A Gnani sees consciousness everywhere and everything in the universe, which is the dualistic illusion. A Gnani is fully aware of the fact that the world in which he exists is nothing but an illusion created out of consciousness.
Advaita is the hidden secret wisdom of the Sages of truth. We contemplate that reality in which everything exists, to which everything belongs, and from which everything has emerged, which the cause of everything is, and which everything is.
A Gnani sees only unity in diversity, just like a goldsmith estimating the gold in various items of jewelry sees only gold. When one identifies the Self with the form then only the form, time and space are present. But when one transcends the form, time, and space the duality never remains as reality. : ~ Santthosh Kumaar
