Line
A geometrical object that is straight, infinitely long and infinitely thin.A line is one-dimensional. It has zero width. If you draw a line with a pencil, examination with a microscope would show that the pencil mark has a measurable width. The pencil line is just a way to illustrate the idea on paper. In geometry however, a line has no width.

Similarly when you define reality as Brahman.
This means that there is only one supreme reality, a reality called Brahman, the supreme being. Brahman is infinite and omnipresent (present absolutely everywhere), therefore nothing can be added to it and furthermore, there cannot be a place where Brahman is not. Therefore, Brahman being non-dual in nature, there is no place for the world or man or any creature outside Brahman.

Loosely stated teaching of BG etc: Analogy to Gravitational field or space that pervades in a limitless manner is fine for describing this 'life giving' entity. But this 'entity' is cause of *both* life and so called non-living 'bodies' including space and gravitational field.

Anyone talking about reality - one or many - must first describe precisely the meaning of the word...

Reality is when someone pinches you and you cry "ouch".

Reality hits all around you that you have now become fully Westernized as the "ouch" reveals a 'sophisticated Indian' who has graduated from 'Ayyo' to 'Ouch" LoL

The so-called non-living bodies including space & gravitation, etc., are all seeming phenomena; they are impermanent.

I look at reality as that which will not change - in any manner whatsoever - for any one of us, even after our death.

What is all this Atman Brahman Superman Spiderman Batman etc? For those of you who are still alive, the reality is you are an alive hu'man'. For those of you who are dead, the concept of 'man' doesn't hold water.

Our own experience of our existence as a ' person' is a phenomena too ... Your definition of reality is in alignment with common sense but it is still defined in terms of 'space-time' since causality (required to define change or define 'no change') is related to concepts of space-time AND space-time is phenomena too

I will leave too .. I do not know what 'spiritual' actually means when a person uses that.

Some think some form of 'oh God give me this , give me that, give me that also' as spiritual. For others it means something else.

I found only Sri Sangom's post in this thread somewhat relevant to the name of the topic and so I chimed in which is actually a rational response in my mind.

There is nothing spiritual in that

So people are welcome to hang around and contribute or consume the spirits & contribute like a few have done

My flu feels much better after I indulged in some mild 'spirit'uality, the store guy was kind enough to suggest the best 'spirit'ual remedy for a flu..
