When one sees the worldview from the eyes of the wisdom than the reality of the suffering, pleasure and the world fades away.
Sage 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 the reality as it is, that is the reality without form, time and space.
All is consciousness. The whole universe is consciousness. From consciousness, the universe comes. When the universe disappears, the consciousness still remains without form, time and space.
Sage Sankara: ~ “VC~ All this universe which through ignorance appears as of diverse forms, is nothing else but Brahman (Consciousness) which is absolutely free from all the limitations of human thought.
Ignorant in his own ignorance ask “Who says, God?” “Who has this illusion? “ Find out who has these thoughts? Without knowing such a question arises within the dualistic illusion or Maya.
The dualistic illusion or Maya is present in the form of the universe. The universe is a product of ignorance. Without ignorance, the universe ceases to exist as a reality.
The universe hides God because the universe is merely an illusion created out of God, the Spirit, or consciousness.
Swami Vivekananda: ~ “The wicked are always looking for defects. Flies come and seek for the ulcer, and bees come only for the honey in the flower. Do not follow the way of the fly but that of the bee.
Instead of finding fault first realize what the Self is in actuality. Honest introspection will reveal that all fault lies with “you” and “your "own perceptions and attitudes. If there is an error in understanding what 'Self' is in actuality it is in “you".
Correcting this and changing to a Soulcentric attitude will change your perception and then the Soul; the 'Self' will reveal its formless, timeless and spaceless true nature. If you are unable to grasp the truth hidden by the ‘I’ then you will never be able to grasp nonduality or Advaita.
First Mundaka - Chapter 2 (8) - Fools, dwelling in darkness, but wise in their own conceit and puffed up with vain scholarship, wander about, being afflicted by many ills, like blind men led by the blind.
Remember:~
It is 'you' who is born in this world. It is you who is living in this world. And it is you who is going to die in this world in the future. Your birth, life, death and the world in which you exist is nothing to do with the Self because the Self is not you but the Soul, the unborn eternal.
The Soul, the Self is hidden by the world in which you exist. It is hidden because the world in which you exist is merely a dualistic illusion or Maya created out of the Soul, the Self, which is present in the form of consciousness. Without consciousness, you and the world in which you exist cease to exist.
Whatever you have seen, known, believed and experienced within this illusory world is nothing but an illusion created out of consciousness.
Consciousness is ever-present. Without consciousness, the world, in which you exist ceases to exist. Consciousness is Self-evident. It is not established by extraneous proofs. It is not possible to deny consciousness, because it is the very essence of the one who denies it. Consciousness is the basis of all kinds of knowledge, presuppositions, and proofs. Consciousness is everything. Thus, consciousness is the ultimate truth or Brahman or God in truth.
Whatever you have seen, known, believed and experienced as a person within the waking experience is bound to be an illusion created out of consciousness. Thus, the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness alone, is real and eternal. : ~ Santthosh Kumaar
