advaitam eva satyam

Advaitam eva satyam. Only non dual one is real.


I or consciousness or chaitanyam is the non dual reality. The notion of duality, the experience of duality, implies, observer, observed, experiencer, experienced.

The experiencer or observer is satyam , the chaitanyam.

Due to ignorance there is an experienced, or observed, and that experienced observed is jadam.
It being due to ignorance, is in fact mithya, which means has no existence of its own, its existence being none other than the self existence of the self, and its being is the self or chaitanyam.

Thereby the experienced jadam, the experienced object has no reality other than chaitanyam.

Thereby chaitanyam or oneself is the only reality.

So in terms of reality there is only one reality.

The experiencer, experienced duality is mithya.

The existence of jadam is not denied. Jadam very much exists, just like pot exists. Existence of pot is not denied. Rather the existence of pot is seen to be none other than clay.

Same way existence of jadam, is none other than existence of thoughts, is none other than existence of chaitanyam or atman.
