On the ultimate standpoint everything is one.

There is no need to name and create division and try to understand and assimilate the ultimate truth. On the ultimate standpoint everything is one. All divisions, which are named, are also consciousness. So, there is no second thing exists other than consciousness. Consciousness is ultimate truth or Brahman.

Many believe spirituality and religion are considered interconnected but it is not so. Religion is based on the false self-(ego or body) and it is limited to the false experience [universe], while spirituality transcends race, religion, gender, language and nationality and universe. Spirituality is the pursuit of truth. 

There are many paths have come into existence in the name of Self-Realization.  Every belief system believes that each human being embodies a spark of the divine, and that fanning into the shining fire spiritual realization is the meaning and purpose of human life. But spirituality is not based on the belief but discovering the truth of the whole universe and man’s existence. Religious and Yogic truth and scientific truth are individual truth based on the false self(ego) within the false experience. Individuality has no value in the realm of ultimate point of view. Therefore, the realization of the true self is necessary in order to realize the ultimate truth, which is free from all the diversity, which is present in the form of the universe. The universe ceases to be real from the ultimate point of view. The ignorance is the cause of experiencing the unreality as reality. Therefore truth realization is necessary to unfold the mystery of the universe, which appears to be real from the physical point of view.

The universe is reality on the base of ego, which is the false self. It is unreal on the stand point of the consciousness, which is the true self. The universe is a mere mirage from the ultimate point of view. Man perceives the world within the universe; therefore his existence is limited to the universe, which is in the form of mind.

Consciousness is real because it is permanent, but the universe, which is in the form of mind, appears as waking or dream (duality) and disappears as deep sleep is impermanent (non-duality). Thus mind is not absolute and eternal like consciousness itself. People stuck with the reality of the world, so they take it as real. Once they take their physical existence to be real then they have accepted the false self as real self and false universe as reality. Thus their judgment is based in the false self, will keep them within the threshold of duality. Thus the ultimate truth lies beyond duality.

People take the universe confronting them as real, the experience of birth, life and death, which happens within the universe, which they experienced as reality. When the self is not physical but self is formless, then whatever seen, known, believed, experienced as person within the universe is falsehood, on the base of the formless self (witness).

The gross universe is merged into the mental universe in the sense that when it is analyzed, it is found to exist inseparably in and as the mind alone. All "spiritual" planes are really mental: those who regard them as differently or higher will remain ignorant.

A Gnani is free from experiencing the illusion (body + universe) as reality, he is fully aware of the fact that, his body and his experience of the world as consciousness, which is the ultimate truth.
