Sage Sankara: ~VC~ If the universe be true, let it then be perceived in the state of deep sleep also. As it is not at all perceived, it must be unreal and false like dreams.

In the context of Advaita Vedanta: ~ “Jagat (the world) is not different from Brahman (Soul); however, Brahman (Soul) is different from Jagat (universe)

It has not been possible to preach Advaitic Truth entirely free from the settings of dualistic weakness; it has not been more operative and useful to mankind at large because only a few will be able to grasp and realize it.

'To realize the Advaitic Truth, a freer and fuller scope, the seeker has to realize that form, time, and space are one in essence. And that essence is the consciousness. And the Soul, the Self, is present in the form of consciousness.

To realize the Advaitic truth, the seeker has to be free from all superstitions and orthodox contaminations. The seeker has to be dedicated to acquiring Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana alone.'

A Gnani will easily appreciate that the high flights of Sage Sankara’s Advaitic wisdom is one of the most majestic structures and valuable products of the Genius of man in his search for Truth. :

The Soul is not different from the universe because the universe is merely an illusion created out of the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness. Only in ignorance is there diversity or separation. In reality, diversity or separation has no place.

Chandogya Upanishad:~ One who meditates upon and realizes the Self discovers that everything in the cosmos-- energy and space, fire and water, name and form, birth and death, mind and will, word and deed, mantram and meditation--all come from the Self.

Man and his senses and his experience of the world are a reality within the waking experience. The dream man and his senses and the dream world are a reality within the dream. The dream becomes unreal when the waking takes place. Similarly, the waking also becomes unreal when you realize the fact that the ‘Self’ is not you, but the ‘Self ‘is the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness.

Thus, the theory of Prana Shakti or energy is based on the false self (waking entity) is imagery. When the body, ego, and the world are created out of a single clay and that single clay is the consciousness, then there is no second thing that exists other than the consciousness. Consciousness powers the whole universe; there is no second energy other than consciousness.

Everything is consciousness. Remember, the world in which you exist is nothing but consciousness.

If the Self is formless, then the question of inward and outward does not arise, because in Self-awareness, the body, ego, and the world are nothing but consciousness, because they are merely an illusion created out of consciousness.

Thus, all these yogic theories hold no water from the standpoint of the formless Soul or consciousness, the Self.

Brihadaranyaka Upanishad: ~ A wise man, having realized Brahman as his Self, should keep his higher intuitive faculty (prajna) united with Brahman (consciousness). He should not oppress his mind with many words, for they are a mere waste of energy. : ~ Santthosh Kumaar
