Consciousness is Brahman. The mind is reflected consciousness. Pure consciousness is that everyday awareness beyond thought in which this universe is appearing.
They say consciousness is not experiencing a universe as something separate from Itself but experiencing Itself as a universe. For more, see Maya.
Without words, one points to your self and silently shouts tattvamasi you are that. Myself is Brahman sitting by the river contemplating such a truth. Can confirm. I am Brahman.
Inspiration: ‘Consciousness is Brahman’ (Prajñānam Brahma) is the definition of the ultimate Reality behind the ever-changing phenomenal world of things and beings. ‘That Thou Art’ (Tat Tvam Asi) is the teacher’s advice. The student in his seat of meditation realises subjectively in himself that ‘This Self within is Brahman’ (Ayam Ᾱtmā Brahma). Last comes the hallelujah that sings in the bosom of the now Liberated sage in the student and he in his sense of fulfilment and bliss immeasurable, confirms in a mad roar of joy and wonder, ‘I am Brahman’ (Ahaṁ Brahmāsmi). ~Chinmayananda from Vakya Vritti commentary
