When the waking entity and the waking world are mere illusion then the experience birth,life,death and the world are mere illusion created out of consciousness





Due to ignorance the illusion, which is present in the form of universe appears to be real. And within the illusion (universe) one is conditioned to think that, he is an individual separate from the world and world existed prior to him and he is born in it.  This inherited conditioning of the birth conviction is very dominant in waking experience. This inborn conviction is a great hindrance to assimilate Self-Knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana. When one realizes all the three states  are one in essence and that essence is  consciousness, then no second thing exist other than consciousness.  Thus consciousness alone is real and eternal all the three states are mere mirage created out of consciousness.  Thus consciousness is ultimate truth or Brahman.

 
Just as the dream entity and the dream universe in the dream,is an illusion, which appeared and disappeared, for the realized one, this waking entity and the waking world,is mere illusion created out of consciousness because he is fully aware of the fact that the self is neither the waking entity nor the dream entity but the formless knower of the three states. 
 
When the waking entity and the waking world are mere illusion then the experience birth,life,death and the world are mere illusion created out of consciousness. These beings so, how can Prarabdha,come along with birth,when birth itself takes place within the illusion?

 Ignorance prevents one from seeing the truth.Ignorance is the cause of the illusion. Illusion is cause of the universe. Universe is cause of experiencing birth, life and death as reality.  Until one becomes aware of the fact that, the universe, which is in the form of mind, is myth, it is impossible to assimilate the self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana.  

If there is no ignorance, then where can be the universe be?Seeing myth instead of truth, due to utter confusion, He only sees this universe, without realizing the reality.
Once the real nature of the “true Self” is realized,the“Universe” will not be seen as real,once knowledge of  the “true Self” is gained  and one  establishes in his formless  true identity ,which is consciousness , then the birth, life, death and the universe will never remain as reality .
