CONSCIOUSNESS IN SHANKAR'S ADVAITA

Abstract

The transcendental reality is without beginning and without an end. This reality is not different from the universal self .Each and everything in this world is ultimately a transformation of the same reality. The realisation of this reality is traditionally called ‘Moksa’which is eternal in itself as ascertained from such shniti and “na sa punaravartate”.Consciousness is considered to be universal when reflected in maya and individuals when reflected in internal organ organs. Consciousness works when we undergo the expression ‘I know’, it works when too when we undergo the expression ‘ I see ‘. Consciousness was fully aware of sound sleep when we are sleeping.
