Part of this Divine illusion is evil.
Numerous theologies exist.
So consciousness is omnipresent. Real atheism is impossible. For one can not claim that God does not exist without a consciousness rooted in the Divine. But should one build his hope of deriving the requisite competence for rites from the knowledge of the tman as taught in the Upanisads, he will be left only with the destruction of all rites. From this also it follows that knowledge is independent of rites.
