Matter means the mind itself. Without the matter, there is no mind. The mind ceases to exist without the Spirit. The matter is merely an illusion created out of the Spirit. In reality, the matter and Spirit are one in essence.
Sunyavadins say there is nothing, neither matter nor mind: they are nihilists.
How do they know the mind ceases to exist?
There is no proof?
When you know everything is mind, both the changing forms and the underlying substances how can you posit its real change into nothingness?
Brahman always remains really itself because of its nature. We see change every minute but by an inquiry into the nature of change and cause, we see that it is only when we imagine that there is cause and change.
The distinction between Sage Sankara’s Advaita, and Vijnanavadin Buddhism is that the former is mentalism i.e. mind is the real, whereas the latter is idealism, i.e. ideas are real. We follow the former.
Buddhism did not graduate its teaching to suit people of varying grades; hence its failure to affect society in Asia.
Buddhists say that a thing exists only for a moment, and if that thing has still got some of the substance from which it was produced how then can they deny that its cause is continuing in the effect; hence its existence is more than a moment.
Advaitic wisdom is concerned with whether it is one and the same thing which has come into being or has it come out of nothing.
Even the Sunyavada ultimate of the "void" is really a breath, and therefore an imagination and not truth. :~ Santthosh Kumaar
