When the Vedas and Upanishad declare that Consciousness or Atman is actually nothing but Brahman, then why go round and round, by various tortuous paths, like the blind led by the blind

When the Vedas and Upanishad declare that Consciousness or Atman is actually nothing but Brahman, then why go round and round, by various tortuous paths, like the blind led by the blind. One has to realize the fact that, the mind is in form of universe.  Trace the source of mind and realize that source is consciousness. The mind rises from consciousness as waking or dream and subsides as deep sleep.  

All are searching truth within the illusion not being aware of the fact that, the illusion is created out of single stuff which is consciousness because everyone thinks their body and their experience of the universe are not consciousness and consciousness is limited to their body.

 Thus searching the truth in illusion with the illusory self, within the illusory experience, has to be illusion.  The illusion is created, and sustained, and finally dissolves as consciousness. Consciousness is material of the illusion.   Since, there is no second thing other than the consciousness; the consciousness itself is God/ Brahman/Christ.  This conviction derives only through from deeper inquiry, analysis and reasoning.

Many People want to take as less trouble as possible and gain as much as possible. They disdain the hard labour of thinking needed in pursuit of truth and hope to get truth by doing nothing i.e. merely believing or refraining from thought in yoga.

 

Conversion can occur only in the sphere of religion, never in pursuit of truth because the truth has to be ascertained by seeker himself.  When one knows non dual truth, he becomes free from sphere of imagination.  –
