People of small intelligence follow religion and believe that the world was created by God. But how do they know that God did so? When a pot is created, one can see both pot and its maker, but not in the case of the world.

A Gnani sees the world in which he exists as consciousness." But to know this truth the seeker must examine the world that confronts him.

That is why Sage Sankara says: ~    “V.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.

The seeker has to begin his analysis with the world first, not with the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness. In the world in which you exist, consciousness is the finality.

The yogi does not care to know about the world" and for a  Gnani nothing remains to be known for him because he is fully aware of the fact that the universe in which he exists is nothing but an illusion created out of consciousness.

The Pundits do not know the true nature of the world in which we exist.  Scriptures deal only with the Objects, not with the Witness of the objects.

If one starts with the idea that Samsara (universe) exists, he can never see the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness, because Samsara (world) is an illusion and only ignorant people read it as a reality.

The cosmos is a reality within the domain of form, time, and space.  Cosmology is nothing to do with the ultimate truth, which is hidden by form, time, and space. 

It is not possible to realize the truth, which is hidden by form, time, and space.  The whole cosmos is nothing but the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness.  Therefore, there is no second thing that exists other than the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness.

For a Gnani sees the world in which he exists as the consciousness, just as the goldsmiths view the ornaments as nothing but gold.

The whole universe is nothing but the Soul.  Therefore, there is no second thing that exists other than the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness.

For a Gnani sees the world in which he exists as consciousness, just as the goldsmiths view the ornaments as nothing but gold. : ~ Santthosh Kumaar
