Mind ceases to exist without the matter.

Mind ceases to exist without the matter. Without the matter mind ceases to exist as mind but it exists as matter- less awareness or consciousness. Without the mind neither the world nor its perceiver can exist. Mind itself is matter. Without the matter mind is pure consciousness or Object-less  Awareness.  Object-less Awayness is the nature of the Soul, the innermost self.

Without the matter there is no duality. Without duality there is no experience. Without experience it is non-dual reality. Therefore, whatever prevails without the mind is ultimate reality.

The true nature of the soul  or consciousness  is camouflaged by the illusion or duality.  To know the truth one has to discover and realize the formless substance of the mind or illusion. One has to learn to view and judge the worldview on the standpoint the formless soul as self.   Self-Knowledge is the prime goal of the truth seeker. This goal is hidden within the mind as its invisible substance and witness. Therefore, it is necessary inquiry, analyze and reason in to the nature of mind or universe  in order to unfold the mystery of mind ( duality or illusion).

there is no division in consciousness, which is the innermost  self, is admissible at any time as it is always one and the same. Even the individuality of the ‘ego’ must be known as false, like the delusion of a snake in a rope.

As through the ignorance of the real nature of the rope the very rope appears in an instant as a snake, so also does consciousness the true self appear in the form of the waking or dream without undergoing any change.

There exists no other material cause of this waking or dream except consciousness. Hence these three states are but consciousness and nothing else.

All the three states are consciousness, because they arisen from consciousness, and sustained by consciousness, and finally dissolves as consciousness. The idea of the pervaded and the pervading is illusory. When this supreme truth being realized, then there is no room for any distinction between the cause and the effect.

Certainly there is no manifoldness in consciousness. The non-dual cause being an established fact, how could the waking/dream be different from consciousness, when they are created out of consciousness?
