In spirituality, the ultimate truth is Brahman or God in truth. The Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness is the ultimate truth or Brahman or God in truth.
Consciousness is ‘One’, and all divisions of the form, time, and space are illusory. Be established in this Advaitic Truth, which is eternal.
Consciousness is the ultimate truth or Brahman. Brahman is God in truth. Thus, there is no devotee, devotion and deity, worship, and the world in Nondualistic reality, because everything is the Soul which is present in the form of consciousness. The Soul is the Self. The Soul or consciousness is God in truth. Thus, Atman is Brahman or God in truth.
Remember:~
Sage Sankara: ~ “VC~ All this universe which through ignorance appears as of diverse forms, is nothing else but Brahman which is absolutely free from all the limitations of human thought.
Sage Sankara: ~VC~ if the universe is true, let it then be perceived in the state of deep sleep also. As it is not at all perceived, it must be unreal and false like dreams.
The universe hides the Soul, the Self. If you realize the nature of the universe then you will know the truth hidden by the universe.
That is why Sage Sankara says: ~ V.63 ~ "Without knowing and examining the external world, one can’t know Truth, as the idea that the external world exists, won't go. It can go only by an inquiry into the nature of the external world.
In deep sleep there is nothing to observe when there is only the observer left, then the observer itself becomes the observed -- because there is nothing else to observe. Deep sleep is still a state of ignorance because we become aware of the deep sleep experience only in waking experience, which is the state of ignorance.
Only through Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana Self-awareness is possible.
Thus, God in truth is the Soul, the Self.
Rig Veda: ~ 'Prajnanam Brahma' - Consciousness is the ultimate reality or Brahman or God in truth.
Even Bhagavad Gita says: ~ 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).
When Bhagavad Gita says, God is considered the all-pervading consciousness which is the basis of all the animate and inanimate entities and material then nothing has to be accepted as God other than consciousness.
Even Brihadaranyaka Upanishad: ~ Brahman (God) is present in the form of the Athma, and it is indeed Athma itself.
Even Rig Veda: ~ The Atman is the cause; Atman (Soul) is the support of all that exists in this universe. May ye never turn away from the Atman, the Self. May ye never accept another God in place of the Atman nor worship other than the Atman?" (10:48, 5)
The world in which you exist is the dualistic illusion created out of the ‘Self’ which not you but the Soul, which is present in the form of the consciousness. Whatever you have seen, known, believed, and experienced is within the dualistic illusion. Thus, your existence is bound to an illusion created out of consciousness(God), which is real and eternal.
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 the consciousness, is consciousness in its essence. : ~ Santthosh Kumaar
