This is nothing but pure Advaita. The beauty of it is that it is the 'untouched original energy' of Brahman that has condensed itself into the atomic matter of the elements and catalyzes their interactive search for equilibrium. The pure energy of chaitanya--consciousness/intelligence, has also created simulated forms of consciousness known as jIvas, which are nothing but thinking robots that delusively conclude themselves to be the observers and everything else as observed, without understanding their true nature.

The skeptics are afraid that their whole physical edifice will crumble if they admit that it is after all the human mind that is responsible for all the concepts of science. This is why they make repeated attempts to reduce the mind to physical concepts, organs and functions.
The whole universe is in the mind of Brahman, just his dream. The difference between his cosmic dream and our dreams is that we have no plan or control over our dreams. Saying 'our dreams' is duality, because our dreams are also part of the cosmic dream, which is why Brahman has introduced Time as the healer and dissolver of the chaos.

To her whose feet are washed by the ocean, who wears the Himalayas as her crown, and is adorned with the gems of rishis and kings, to Mother India, do I bow down in respect.
