The mind is present in the form of the universe.+

The Soul, the Self is hidden by the illusory form, time, and space. Form, time, and space are the products of ignorance. Form, time, and space are present in the form of the mind. The mind is present in the form of the universe. 

The universe appears as a waking or dream. Until one holds the ‘Self’ as the ‘I’ he is in the grip of ignorance.

If ignorance is present then duality is present.

If duality is present then the illusion is experienced as a reality.

If the illusion is experienced as reality then one is stuck with the reality of practical life within the practical world.

For a Gnani, who is aware of the fact that the Self is not the ‘I’ but the ‘Self’ is the Soul, the witness of the ‘I’ there is no illusion, even though; he is in the midst of the dualistic illusion because he is fully aware of the fact that, the dualistic illusion (universe) is nothing but an illusion created out of consciousness.

When the universe itself is nothing but consciousness then there is no second thing that exists other than consciousness. Thus, consciousness is the ultimate truth or Brahman or God in truth.

This vast cosmos with all its contents (atom, molecule, sun, moon, planet, and star) all are created out of a single stuff. That single stuff is the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness. Knowledge of the single stuff is Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana. 

Rig Veda: ~ 'Prajnanam Brahma'- Consciousness is the ultimate reality or Brahman or God in truth.

Do not accept any other God other than the Soul. The Soul is God in truth, Nothing is real but the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness.

Nothing matters but realizing God in truth. God in truth is everywhere and in everything. Let these words be inscribed in your subconscious.

God in truth is hidden by the illusory universe. God in truth alone is real and eternal and all else is an illusion.

Brahman is merely a word to indicate the ultimate truth of God in truth. The ultimate truth itself is God in truth.

Bhagavad Gita: ~ Brahmano hi pratisthaham ~ Brahman (Godin truth) is considered the all-pervading consciousness, which is the basis of all the animate and inanimate entities and material. (14.27).

When Bhagavad Gita says, God is considered the all-pervading consciousness which is the basis of all the animate and inanimate entities and material then nothing has to be accepted as God other than consciousness. : ~ Santthosh Kumaar
