So we are studying the third chapter of the Mandukya Karika, Adwaita Prakarana, the chapter on non-duality,

where Gaurapada is attempting to prove on the basis of reasoning and experience that the self is non-dual. There one non-dual reality non-dual reality

means without a second and what is this non-dual reality it is you

Brahman or your Brahman is your own self you are that non-dual reality if there is

only one reality without a second and you are that

reality, it means the claim is that there is no reality apart from you. So all that appears

to be apart from you, right now, all that appears to be apart from you, this universe, all these people, all the things that you see in your life, your own body, and if you look inside, your own thoughts.

So even up to the thoughts, they all seem to be apart from you, all of them cannot be apart from you. Why? Because you are that

non-dual reality without a second. In that case, the teaching is that that which appears

to be apart from you is an appearance alone.

You are the reality which is appearing in this way, which way here.

That reality which you are, that existence consciousness place is appearing as Jagat, as

you the Jiva and also the God of religion Ishwara.

Jiva Jagat Ishwara is an appearance of that non-dual self which you actually are.
