The dualiistic illusion is present as reality, till the ignorance is prevails.+

The duality is present as a reality until ignorance is there. The ignorance vanishes the soul remains in its own awareness. From the standpoint of the soul, the innermost self, there is no second thing that exists other than the Soul, which is present in the form of the spirit. Thus, the spirit alone is. And everything is the Spirit.  The unreal(universe)  is created out of the real(soul or spirit). 

Jesus said: ~  "Know what is in front of your face, and what is hidden from you will be disclosed to you. (THE GOSPEL OF THOMAS- Saying 5)

"The Kingdom of God is inside you and all around you, Not in a mansion of wood and stone.  Split a piece of wood and God is there, Lift a stone and you will find God." (Gospel of Thomas)

Gospel Thomas logian 22:~ Jesus saw infants being suckled.  He said to his disciples, “These infants being suckled are like those who enter the kingdom.”

They said to him, “Shall we then, as children, enter the kingdom?”

Jesus said to them,  “When you make the two one, and when you make the inside like the outside  and the outside like the inside, and the above like the below, and when you make the male and the female one and the same, so that the male not be male nor the female is female; and when you fashion eyes in the place of an eye,  and a hand in place of a hand, and a foot in place of a foot, and a likeness in place of a likeness; then will you enter the kingdom.”

 This above passage is Jesus’s version of Nonduality or Advaita.    When one realizes the mind (matter) and Soul (Spirit), the  'Self'', is one, in essence, there is no place for duality. Without duality, the universe ceases to exist. Without the universe, your existence within the universe is merely an illusion because there is scope for two because everything is created out of single stuff.   That single stuff is the consciousness or Spirit. The spirit of the consciousness 

Remember:~

Till one thinks he is an individual separate from this world he remains in the realm of duality.  Duality is the product of ignorance.  When wisdom dawns, then ignorance vanishes. When ignorance vanishes, then the duality never remains as reality. 

The Soul is the  Self. The Soul, the  'Self' does not lie in our body or in our brain, or in our ego, but the Soul is the very essence of the dual and non-dual experiences, which appears as the waking or the dream (dual) and disappears as deep sleep (non-duality).

Thought and thinker are a reality within the universe. The thinker and the thought exist within the universe. The man and his experience of the universe is a reality within the waking experience.  The waking experience is merely an illusion from this standpoint. of the Soul, the  Self, Therefore, the individual experiences are part of the illusion. Thus, the thought and the thinker are part of the illusion. 

Positive and negative thoughts and the thinker are made of the same material.  Whether one thinks rightly or wrongly he is thinking as a person. The thoughts will not rise without the form.  Without the form, there are neither thoughts nor thinker.  Thus, positive or negative thinking or right or wrong thinking is part of physical existence.  physical existence is nothing to do with ultimate truth.    

Remember:~

Experience is prior to thought. Only in the waking or the dream,  one gets thoughts. Therefore, one has to mentally trace the source of the waking or dream experience in order to realize the waking experience is as unreal as a dream. 

Only in religion and the yogic path, one has to follow and practice. Everyone thinks he has to follow some guru or godmen.  But all these methods are full of frustrations and give no real satisfaction. Reality has no method. The illusion has many methods, many problems, and many concepts. To overcome illusion or concepts, one should know the source of the mind and from where does this mind arise? “When the mind is present then only the universe is present. 

Absent of mind absent of the universe.  The absence of the universe is the absence of duality. Absent of the duality is absent of the thinker, thoughts, and the world.  Until one realizes  'what is the mind' and 'what is the substance of the mind' and 'what is the source of the mind',   it is impossible to assimilate non-dualistic or Advaitic truth. 

 To know the non-dual Reality, deeper thinking is required. The thinking faculty ceases and becomes still when it reaches the source of the mind. One has to realize the waking entity is the false self within the false experience from the ultimate standpoint. 

Where there is no experience then there is no duality where there is no duality then there is no second thing that exists other than Self-awareness.  Therefore, the seeker has to indulge in deeper self-search and trace and overcome the obstacles.

For the sincere and the serious seekers,  the inner grace will guide them until the ignorance vanishes,  and he becomes aware of the fact that the diversity (universe or Illusion) is merely an illusion created out of consciousness (Atman).  :~Santthosh Kumaar
