Namaste Suresh,
Yes. Ajativada is the highest and absolute and known only when the native knows Seer/Seen/Seeing as "Not Two". But for all other cases, pratyaksha will have components of Adhyasa -- superimpositions. Independepent of the native's seeing/knowing, the Sat-non-dual Turiya exists without cause and effect.
Gaudapada:

Some say that the manifestation is for the purpose of God’s enjoyment, while others attribute it to His division. But it is the very nature of the effulgent Being. What desire is possible for Him who is the fulfillment of all desires?
10
Turiya, the changeless Ruler, is capable of destroying all miseries. All other entities being unreal, the non—dual Turiya alone is known as effulgent and all—pervading.
11
Visva and Taijasa are conditioned by cause and effect. Prajna is conditioned by cause alone. Neither cause nor effect exists in Turiya.

If the phenomenal universe were real, then certainly it would disappear. The universe of duality which is cognized is mere illusion (maya); Non—duality alone is the Supreme Reality.
If Maya was Sat then it would vanish, since Sat is unchanging. Now, if the Maya was pure Asat, then there would not arise any false cognition and need for Guru or Guru Vani, since an Asat entity is non-existent always and cannot have any effect. So, Maya is inexplicable but not pure Asat. And the Universe, cognised as made up of discrete objects is Mithya but not Asat. Manifestation is the very nature of Self -Turiya, wherein however there is no cause and no effect.
The causes and effects are in Visva and Taijjsa. The cause alone is there in Prajna.
To comprehend this (say approximately), I have always reminded myself of water. Water's very nature is to exist or be known in three forms -- liquid, vapour, and solid, but in reality the thing-in-itself that water is, is unknown. We can only say that which is water exists and is known in three different forms. Similarly, that which is Self knows itself in three states differently.

AUM should be known quarter by quarter. There is no doubt that the quarters are the same as the letters. Having understood AUM quarter by quarter, one should not think of anything else.
