From the Garland of Gurus Sayings

 

Verse 259. The ego

(seer) is unreal; this world of objects seen is

also unreal; the mind that is aware of the two is (also)

unreal; only the Sky of Pure Consciousness remains over (in

Self-Realization) as real. (17)

 

(17) Whatever is manifested and

taken as real in ignorance has to be related to a cause or

original source; the Real Self is unrelated; all

attempts to trace phenomenal objects to IT are bound to be

unsatisfactory, as is well known to those who do not

to any of the creeds, and who are therefore called

" Advaitins. "
