Unity in diversity is possible only through a perfect understanding of ‘what is what’. As one goes deeper self-search he realizes that diversity is created out of single stuff and that single stuff is the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness. knowledge of that single stuff is Advaitic wisdom.

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.

The diverse world in which we exist is created out of the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness.

Swami Vivekananda said:~ "The Vedas teach that the Soul is divine, only held in the bondage of matter; perfection will be reached when this bond will burst, and the word they use for it is, therefore, Mukthi - freedom, freedom from the bonds of imperfection, freedom from death and misery."

Ashtavakra Gita: ~The universe rises from the ‘Self’ like bubbles from the sea. Thus, know the Self to be One and in this way enter into the state of dissolution."

The universe is verily consciousness. Without realizing ‘what is the Mind? it is impossible to get self- realization. The universe is not different from the Mind because the universe is the mind itself. 

The mind is not different from the Soul because the mind is the dualistic illusion created out of the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness.

Thus, the universe is nothing but consciousness. The universe is unreal because it is not absolute and eternal like consciousness.

It is impossible for any human being to challenge successfully the Advaitic position, as Sage Sankara says.

Sage Sankara asks his opponents "How do you know there are separate individual Souls? Have you seen the Soul of a man? You can only say that you have seen different bodies. To say more is to misuse language. Therefore, I call you liars unless you give proof, which is impossible. :~Santthosh Kumaar
