Even as rock remains rock

Even as rock remains rock, carved or uncarved, consciousness remains consciousness whether the world appears or not. The world-appearance is but an empty expression; its substance is nothing but consciousness.
In fact, even these manifestations and modifications are but Brahman, the cosmic consciousness-though not in the sense of manifestation or modification. Even this distinction-modification in the sense of modification, or any other sense-is meaningless in Brahman. When such expressions are used in relation to Brahman, the meaning is quite different, like water in the mirage.

Thanks Sanmugan…. the beauty of Truth…the truth of Being.
This body/mind is like the mirage, it seems to appear, but in truth we know the reality…. and like the appearance of the world looking flat, it appears flat upon looking at the horizon, but it is known, in reality, to be round.
This is how this body/mind is seen here…”I”appears to be here, even is spoken of, in the play, but “I” is known to be Consciousness.
Namaste
so the truth is there as it is, never modifies but still I am seeking the truth, how is that?
Your explanation is far more better than the Yoga Vasishta.
Thre is more to come after the pilgrimage.
