In Vedaant that reality alone is called Purusha, Supreme Being, Pure Conciousness and Aatma, and by whose mere glance causes Maayaa to project the universe with various modifications.

ENGLISH TRANSLATION
Avidyaa, ignorance, which cannot be described as existent or non existent or even both, projects the objective world, just as a rope is projected as a snake. When Avidyaa gets transformed into Vidyaa as a result of God's grace flowing like a stream, coupled with hearing of some statements of the scriptures, it becomes the axe which cuts the forest of the objective world. O Lord! to That Thee salutations. |
