As the dream state is projected from the mind by its own power of sleep, the waking state is projected from consciousness, in consciousness, and by consciousness through the power of its maya.
The dream begins as the mind forgets itself. The universe begins as the nondual Self has no need to know a thing (there is no other). In order to know itself, maya happens. God, beings, and the universe, oh my!
The projection of the Self is not duality. A movie doesn’t trouble the movie screen. In this way, the Self is just a witness. And the self-realized one knows all is in and of the Self. This is Vedanta, Gaudapada says.
