'Advaita' - Non-Duality is the Supreme Knowledge that unravels the illusory plurality of all matter in this creation. After all, the duality, the plurality are all part of the play of Illusion by the Creator, the Almighty!
The awakening of an ignorant believing in the semblance of reality in the plurality in the nature around, towards the ultimate reality of Oneness is well brought out by the poet savant Annamacharya in his sankeertana, "Pacchiga Teliya Kunte Bahu Mukhamai Tochu"..........
'For an ignorant, the plurality of this material world looks real. But in fact, all creation being the conception of the Almighty only, the plurality too is His illusory manifestation.
'Some people scold us; some praise us; this duality is the nature of the world. The Time keeps on fleeting, with alternating visits of Day and Night. Then who has created this time factor and Moods of Mind? It is the Almighty residing in all the beings in equal measure.
'We sometimes exhibit unwarranted anger on some and undue favour on others. These contradictory traits, attributes are natural to all human beings. The 'Ivy Gourd' when raw, is called 'Donda Kaya' and when ripe it is named 'Donda Pandu'. Both forms are in one and the same body only. Hence let it be known that the Creator of both forms is one Almighty only.
'In the vast expanse of universe at one place are the human beings and at another place (in other planes) there are Devas, extra-terrestrials! In change of birth cycles, some of those here go there and some of those from that plane come here. Who decides this but for the Almighty! The sugar cane when raw is insipid and acrid; but when fully ripe the same sugar cane becomes very sweet. All these are the illusory play of the Almighty only!'..........
This knowledge of the illusory play of the Almighty within helps one to become wiser and emancipate himself from the lures of the worldly distractions; then seek and realise the Real Self!
