The world in which you exist is not Brahman but the cause of the world in which you exist is consciousness is Brahman or God in truth.+

The world in which you exist is not Brahman but the cause of the world in which you exist is consciousness is Braham or God in truth. 

The main purpose of analyzing the external world is to discover that to realize the world in which we exist is merely an illusion created out of the Soul, the Self, which is present in the form of consciousness.  The Soul, the Self is hidden by the illusory world in which we exist.

From the standpoint of the Soul, the Self, the world in which we exist is an illusion. From the standpoint of the ego, the world in which we exist is a reality.

Sage Sri, Sankara:~  ‘VC~.63: "Without knowing and examining the external world, one can’t know the 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.

After verifying through deeper inquiry if one finds the world is the reality within the illusion then he cannot again say the world is not an illusion.

If one is frightened to accept the world is an illusion (waking) then he is unfit to acquire ‘Self’-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana. Those who stuck with the reality of the world are stuck with the reality of the individual experiences of birth, life, and death, which takes place within the unreal world. Thus the pursuit of truth is for those who have the courage to accept reality as it is, that is the reality without form, time, and space.

When you finally realize the ‘‘Self’ ‘is not you but the ‘‘Self’’ is the Soul then you will realize the world in which you exist is merely an illusion created out of the Soul. The Soul is present in the form of consciousness.

Thus, you, your experience birth, life, death, and the world merely an illusion created out of the consciousness, the consciousness is the ultimate truth or Brahman or God or God in truth.

The world is both real and unreal. It is real because it is a manifestation of consciousness, but is unreal, in the sense, that it is not absolute and eternal like consciousness itself.

People's approach is more practical, and they stuck with the reality of the world, they take it as real. That is why all the confusion. 

People fail to make this analysis because they view and judge the worldview from the dualistic perspective

Remember:~

Religious-minded people fail to realize the truth hidden by the world in which they exist because they take the world in which they exist as a reality.  

Without realizing the world is unreal and the Soul alone real and eternal it is impossible to discriminate between real and unreal.

To effect this discrimination, we need intelligence much sharper than the average, whereas too much religion drugs this intelligence.

Those who lack the intelligence to discriminate between the subject (Soul) and the object (world) will not be able to grasp what is real and what is unreal. Both subject and object are consciousness, not subject alone. 

A weaker mindset cannot take a comprehensive view and so decry what they cannot understand.

There is no need for getting an aversion to the world, as do the ascetics and yogis; on the contrary, one should go on living in the world, acting, working, etc. that he should accept the fact that the world is merely an illusion created out of the Soul, the Self, which is present in the form of the consciousness. 

There is no need to renounce worldly life to acquire Advaitic wisdom but to realize the world is merely an illusion created out of the Soul, the Self, which is present in the form of consciousness. 

The seeker has to have humility, patience, sharpness to grasp, ability to discriminate between the Real and the non-Real and an intense desire for liberation. However, it is important to remember that Advaitic wisdom is not a result of mere ritualistic practice. Ritualistic practices will not help to acquire Advaitic wisdom or Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana.

Sage Sankara says: ~ “The exercise in discrimination between real and unreal and renunciation of the false is real meditation, then why you are indulging in other types of meditation.

Perfect understanding and realization of ‘what is what’ leads to Self-awareness. By holding onto theories one remains in the realm of duality. You have to mentally go on dropping what is not the truth through deeper Self-search. Finally when you become aware of the fact that, your ego, your body, and the world are one in essence then there is Self-awareness in the midst of duality.

Those who lack the intelligence to discriminate between the subject and the object will not be able to grasp what is real and what is unreal. Both subject and object are consciousness, not subject alone.

The subject is the Soul, the Spirit and the object is the ‘I’ the matter. The Soul, the Self is the Spirit. The Soul, the Self is the subject. The ‘I’ the universe is the matter. 

Unless you realize ‘what is the subject?’ and ‘what is the object’? -  ‘you will never be able to unfold the mystery hidden by the ‘I’.

You have been misled by the eastern and western Advaitic Gurus and their ‘I-centric teachings you are unable to grasp the ‘Self’ hidden by the ‘I’. The ‘Self' hidden by the ‘I’ means the Spirit hidden by the matter. Remember the eastern and western Advaitic Gurus and their ‘I-centric teachings are not the Advaitic wisdom of Sage Sankara. 

Sage Sankara says: ~ “What is accepted without a proper inquiry will not lead a person to the final goal. On the contrary, such acceptance will result only in evil, in something which is detrimental to our spiritual progress. 

Unless you drop all eastern and western Advaitic Gurus and their ‘I-centric teachings you will not be able to acquire the Advaitic wisdom of Sage Sankara who is the expounder der of the Advaitic wisdom. :~ Santthosh Kumaar
