The unreal [world] is created out of real [consciousness], sustained by real, finally it dissolves as real.
Whatever appears and disappears is myth [world/duality/mind]. But to what this myth appears is within the myth , as its formless substance, and it is apart from myth as its formless witness. It is apart because it is not an entity or identity within the myth. That formless substance and witness of myth is consciousness . And consciousness is the true self.
When the formless substance and the formless witness of myth is Ataman/spirit/consciousness, there is no second thing exists in myth [diversity] other then consciousness , hence it is nondual.
Thus, whatever appears as real is unreal on the standpoint of the consciousness as self. The unreal [world] is created out of real [conciousness], sustained by real, finally it dissolves as real.
Therefore, the real and unreal are one in essence. The true self itself is the guru, because the myth [world] is created out of the real [consciousness]. to realize this ultimate truth or Brahman, the scriptures are not needed.
