" According to Sarhkara the world is neither real nor illusory, but somewhere in between. As long as it is a matter of our own experience, it cannot be denied, but it is proven insubstantial by the knowledge of the Absolute. Brahman alone is the ultimate reality, because it cannot be sublated by anything else. It is consciousness in its unconditioned state, experienced in nirvikalpa samadhi as "no-thingness" not nothingness but a positive reality of which nothing can be said or thought.
