No Diversity in Reality

Acharya Sankara's Viveka Chudamani(Crest Jewel of Wisdom)

Viveka  Chudamani:No Diversity  in  Reality(398-406)

• When   the apparent existence super-imposed on  the Self are removed,then what  remains is the  Supreme Brahman,the Infinite,Non-dual,that which is beyond  all activities,alone, all by itself(398)
• When the   functionsof   the mind, the  thoughts,have  merged  in Paramatman, the  Brahman,  the  Absolute  then  this  phnomenal  world is   not   perceived.  Then  all becomes  mere   talk.(399)
• In   the  One  Reality,  the  concept   of  the  universe  is  a  mere  facy.  How  can  there   be   any  diversity  in  the  Changeless,  the  Formless,  the Absolute?(400)
• In  the One  Reality, which  is  without  the seer, the seeing and  the  seen  etc.,which  is Changeless, Formless,Absolute,  How  can  there   be   any  diversity?(401)
• In the One Reality which  is All-pervading andMotionless,likethe oceanafterthedissolutionof theuniverse,  which  is Changeless, Formless,Absolute?(402)
•  How  can  there   be   any  diversity   in  the  Supreme  Reality  which  is  Non-dual  and  Absolute,  where   the   very  root  of  delusion  dissolves,  like  darkness  into   light?(403)
• The scriptures   directly  declare  that  all  duality  is nothing  but Maya,  ( and   that ) the  Reality   alone  is   the  Absolute  Truth.  Such  also is  the  experience  in  deep sleep(406)
