As cause alone is seen as its effect, and since Con- sciousness [Brahman], which is the cause, is as clearly true as an amalaka fruit on one’s palm, this vast universe, its effect, which is described in the scriptures as mere names and forms, may also be called true.
Sadhu Om [Commentary]: Brahman has five aspects, Sat-Chit-Ananda-Nama- Rupa [i.e., Being, Awareness, Bliss, name and form]. The first three aspects are real, being eternally Self-shining, whereas name and form are unreal aspects, since they merely seem to exist, depending upon the illumination of Sat-Chit-Ananda.
If, however, one sees the cause, Sat-Chit-Ananda, which is real, one may say, ignoring the apparent names and forms, that this universe is also real.
