We don't have the ability to truely understand the "real" reality of the Atman, but we do have the ability, or at least the tools, to understand the reality that we experience on a day-to-day basis (Prikriti). If we had the ability to understand the true reality, would it change?  On the surface that seems to be a non-sensical question, since real is real is real, but we are co-creators of our reality, ergo if we had access to the ultimate reality, would we be co-creating there as well?  No way to really answer that one, is there?  Maybe a better question would be to ask, "if we had access to direct knowledge of the ultimate reality, how would we act differently?"


Hello Carl,

You might try it, and answer the question for yourself.
