Whatever changes cannot be true. The world as we see it today is not the same in past and would not be same in future as well. Hence it is not real. It can be defined as an illusive reality. There is one permanent, unchanging reality or existence behind changing universe. It is the essence of all beings and phenomena. It is sometimes referred as state of enlightenment, the state of pure consciousness.
From here starts the concept of God, world and individual being and their inter relationship.
In fact the search of Physics also culminates in an attempt to find one single source of energy,which can explain all other phenomena. In an attempt to probe into reality, the human mind reaches higher level of consciousness. It becomes calm, collected and desire becomes less. At the final stage of realization, the person crosses over the barriers of mind and words alone cannot define this experience.
A famous example of Vedanta philosophy- snake and rope. When we see the rope, our vision and perception is clear. But as soon as darkness-ignorance come, we confuse the rope with snake. Only a teacher can show us the difference snake and rope. Ignorance has to be destroyed by force of awakening, When a man sees snake, he starts running but as soon as his dream ends, he realises the truth. Similarly, our attachments to this world are like dreams. Love, hatred, jealousy and so on surface only because of our mistaken belief about Rope(Reality) as something else.
