Q: How can matter be consciousness?
consciousness is never an object
consciousness how can it be material given opposite nature
A: We do not say that consciousness is matter. Rather we say that matter is consciousness.
It becomes difficult to understand only when we don't assimilate that matter is not satyam rather is mithya. If matter is mithya , means there is no such thing as matter.
Air, water etc the elements, the elementals, the various objects that we encounter and see as moving and non moving, they do not exist non separate from their cause.
We just need to understand that part.
That matter has it cause as consciousness. Then we can accept matter, as non separate from consciousness. As not other than consciousness. As not a second entity. Any material entity is not other than the non dual consciousness entity,
The materiality includes name form and various attributes, but the consciousness aspect of the cause is inhibited. We cannot ask where in the effect is the cause, we cannot ask if the cause if embedded or inside the effect, the effect IS the cause. But the attributes differ totally.
