Whole jagad is like a pot

Whole jagad including you the jiva is like a pot.
Pot is clay. You are that clay, all pervading consciousness.
You transcend the pot. Whole jagad resolves in clay.
To gain this knowledge, you need the qualified mind, which is silent and available for contemplation. In that steadiness you can see the jagad is mithya, and satyam brahman is all pervading. And satyam brahman is none other than oneself.
Mind cannot be 'made' steady by force, force itself is opposite of steady.
One can however enjoy sammatvam, and be relatively free of rAga dvesAs. This can be developed through karma yoga.
This sammatvam is gained by seeing ishvara as order, and jagad as orderly presence of ishvara. In this order we can relax and gain the neccesary sammatvam or qualification for knowledge.
