Shri Vasishtha said: The pure reality, whose intrinsic nature (ātman) encompasses both the means of knowledge and the objects of knowledge, truly exists yet appears as if unreal. It seems to be separate, and yet it is not separate from (brahman), as its intrinsic nature (ātman) is one with (brahman).
