What does not have a reality of its own is mithya.
We take anything in this jagad, including oneself the knower, it is found to not have a reality of its own, rather its reality is derived from a cause.
Just similar to how ornaments made of gold, derive their reality from gold, and do not have their own reality.
Same way the triad of knower, known and knowledge derive their reality from one cause, which is atma, or chit.
Atma is the truth of the knower, the reality of the knower, The reality of the knower is indeed the one reality, which is the reality of the known as well as the thoughts or knowledge.
This is confirmed from our own experience also. Not only shastra says it, but it is corrobrated by our own experience.
You take a tree, the tree has its reality in wood, wood has its reality in fibrous material, which has its reality in the fibrous elements, which has its reality in fibrous molecules, which has its reality in atoms and particles, which we can keep going on and on.....
In one name there are many names and forms "namani namAni". The reality of the jagad is self evident atma, the truth of the knower. Atma happens to be the knower w.r.t what is known, and by itself is free from being the knower.
