Sri Ramchandra's Rajayoga and Ontology (Nature of Reality)
Every darsana, as a Vision of Reality, has a notion of the nature of that Reality. In one sense this notion is not considered to be out of place.
Reality is all this that is being experienced. Nothing unreal can be experienced. The non-existent is incapable of being, and so cannot be an object of any knowledge. Even though the world is riddled with contradictions and illusions, and even though hallucinations are not rare phenomena, nothing unreal can be an object of knowledge. But we have to grapple, not with these problems of the theory of knowledge, but with reality as such. The Real is the Ultimate source of all realities and sustains all. It can be said to be the Substance of all that is real. Being One, it manifests the Many. This experience of the One Substance is transcendental to all our known sources of knowledge. Its reality is confirmed by transcendental experience rather than by any proofs or arguments for its existence on the basis of our instruments of knowing the outer or inner regions of being. Oneness of the One is an experience, even as Allness of the One is; but it is an oneness which brings out of itself all these, both the cosmic and the individual, the world of experiencing subjects and experienced objects.
The individual's intuition, as it develops, begins to grasp its own cause. Through intuitive seeking one discovers how the effect could come out of the cause and how it could enter back into it. It is not merely a process of thought which imagines the descent of effect from the cause in which it is deemed to be potentially present, or even of the ascent of the effect into its cause. No rational explanation can show how the manifest returns to its own potential state as cause. There are of course persons who hold that this cause-effect mutuality, or reciprocal involvement and evolvement, is nothing but an intellectual device to explain immanence. Novelty seems to be ruled out of this causal law. However, when one discovers in experience that planes of being emerge and immerge and lead up to the experience of
