Sage Goudapada’s rational exposition of Advaita:~ Whatever is seen, whether external or internal, whether by the ordinary persons or yogis, is unreal.+

Consciousness is not one; how can there be a second different from it? It has neither absoluteness nor non-absoluteness. It is neither void nor non-void since it is devoid of duality.  It cannot be described that which is the formless essence of all the three states.  

Sage Goudapada’s rational exposition of Advaita:~ Whatever is seen, whether external or internal, whether by the ordinary persons or yogis, is unreal.

A person within a dream gets visions that he is in search of the ancient yogi with all magical powers and he goes in search of the ancient yogi in the Kumbha Mela. The ancient yogi gives darshan blesses him and disappears. The dream becomes unreal when the waking takes place. 

A person within the waking gets visions that he was in search of the ancient yogi with all magical powers and he goes in search of the ancient yogi in the Kumbha Mela. The ancient yogi gives darshan blesses him and disappears. 

The waking becomes unreal when you realize the Self is not you, but the Self is the Soul, which is present in the form of the consciousness. 

Consciousness is the cause of the three states and it, itself is uncaused. From the standpoint of the Soul, the Self, the three states are merely an illusion created out of the Soul itself.  

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 or God in truth.  The ultimate truth itself is God in truth. 

Rig Veda 1/164/46: ~ “They call him Indra, Mitra, Varuna, Agni, or the heavenly sunbird Garutmat. The seers call in many ways that which is One; they speak of Agni, Yama, Matarishvan.

Rig Veda 8/58/2: Only One is the Fire, enkindled in numerous ways; only One is the Sun, pervading this whole universe; only One is the Dawn, illuminating all things. In very truth, the One has become the whole world.

Consciousness in you and the consciousness in the whole universe are one and the same. Those who realize this truth find unity in diversity in their understanding and cross the ocean of ignorance.

Consciousness is the cause of the three states and it, itself is uncaused. From the standpoint of the Soul, the  Self, the three states are merely an illusion created out of the Soul itself.:~Santthosh Kumaar
