A Gnani, no more sees duality in consciousness because he is fully aware of the fact that his body and hid experience of the world are mere mirage created out of consciousness.

 Just after the illusion has disappeared; the soul (consciousness), the innermost is no more deluded to see the duality as reality. A Gnani, no more sees duality in consciousness because he is fully aware of the fact that his body and hid experience of the world are mere mirage created out of consciousness.  thus consciousness alone is real and his body and experience of the world are unreal.

Just as water is described as an ice block, gold as an ornament, so is consciousness described as duality(universe).

Just as blueness in the sky, water in the mirage, are but illusory, so is the duality in consciousness. Just as a castle in the air, is illusory, so is the appearance of the three states in consciousness.

Just as it is water that appears as ripples and waves or again it is water that appears in the form of cloud so it is consciousness that appears as the duality (universe).

Just as it is water that appears under the name of a snow or it is threads that appear under the name of a cloth, so it is consciousness that appears under the name of the duality (universe). This consciousness is to be known by negating the names.

Words, thoughts and also the person who thinks and the world is created out of consciousness.  As person perceiving the world   one  is unaware of , because he thinks his  body as body, his  ego as ego his experience of the ,world as world but never he is unaware of the truth they are just mirage created out consciousness due to ignorance of the truth .

People fail to understand that, the emptiness is the nature of the self, which is consciousness.  When self becomes aware of its formless non-dual nature it becomes empty of ignorance or illusion or duality or experience of waking or dream.  Thus whatever remains empty of duality or ignorance or illusion is non-dual reality. Only through wisdom one becomes aware of the truth in the midst of duality.

That is why Sage Sri, Sankara said: 63_(VC)- Without causing the objective universe to vanish and without knowing the truth of the Self, how is one to achieve Liberation.

Universe will not remain as reality when wisdom dawns. Universe is mere mirage created out of consciousness and there is unity in diversity because there is no second thing exist other than consciousness.

One thinks he is imprisoned within this body; whereas the body and his experience of the world are within the mind. The consciousness is hidden within the three states but it is without the three states.  The one, which has the awareness of the three states, is not the body but the soul, which is in the form of consciousness. Thus consciousness is not limited to waking experience alone because it pervades all the three states. Till one views and judges the world-view on base of ego he is in the grip of individuality or intellectuality.  The self is not an individual because it is universal. And it pervades in everything and everywhere in all the three states. Thus individualized judgment will not lead one non-dual destination.
