Matter and Consciousness

The discrimination between matter and consciousness is what is correct knowledge.

Atma is consciousness, while mind, body, and objects of the universe are matter.

Consciousness is independent of matter, and not a part, product , or property of matter.

Matter is a dependent entity, dependent on consciousness for its existence.

Consciousness is changeless, not available for objectification, cannot be objectified, and is the reality of the subject.

Matter is ever changing, attributeful, can be objectified, or is available for objectification, and has no reality of its own.
When we say matter 'is' , the 'is' ness belongs to consciousness, the self.

The matterness is superimposed on consciousness, and due to the superimposition, consciousness itself appears as matter.

This superimposition is due to beginingless avidya or ignorance.

The mahavakya, says atma is ishvara, self is the cause of jagad.

Which means consciousness is the reality of matter.

This consciousness is the truth.

Atma is the truth.

Matter is none other than consciousness itself.

Mithya matter and maker and material and knower etc. being mithya , resolve in satyam, knowing satyam.

That is always the case. Knowing satyam, mithya is resolved in satyam.

Knowing clay, pot resolves in clay.

Same way knowing atma consciousness as satyam, matter resolves in consciousness, knower known knowledge all 3 resolve in atma the consciousness.
