The individual experience of birth, life, death, and the world has appeared on its own and it disappears on its own.

Whether a person takes it as a reality or illusion all depends on his mental and intellectual conditions will determine the phenomenal world observed and experienced. The look of an object will depend upon the medium through which the observer views it.

A Gnani viewing the universe differently from the ignorant is viewing the same universe. Each one of them interprets the universe he sees in terms of his existing knowledge. The Gnani sees the world in which he exists as merely an illusion created out of consciousness whereas the ignorant see the world in which exists as a reality.

Thus, experiencing pain and pleasure within the dualistic illusion or Maya with the illusory ‘Self’ is bound to be an illusion.

The illusion is created and sustained and finally dissolves as the consciousness, which is the‘Self’. Since there is no second thing other than consciousness; the consciousness itself is the ultimate truth or Brahman.

The one who has realized this truth for him this illusion is a passing show because he is fully aware of the fact that the world in which he exists as the consciousness.

Practical people's approach is more practical, and they are stuck with the reality of the practical life within the practical world, they take it as real whereas Gnani has the firm conviction that:-

The Soul is the witness that experiences the action, the actor, and the world of separate things. It is like a light that illuminates everything in a theater, revealing the master of ceremonies, the guests, and the dancers with complete impartiality. Even when they all depart, the light shines to reveal their absence.

What is not consciousness (formless) in the world in which we exist? The world, in which we exist ceases to exist without consciousness. The seeker, seeking and his destination is nothing but an illusion created out of consciousness. : ~ Santthosh Kumaar
