In Bandho Kyo Penishad, it is one consciousness alone, which appears as Kuntala. In one consciousness alone so many beings arise. And there they share a common reality because that common reality is projected in one consciousness. When you hear that I am projecting this world, what is that I you are talking about? If it is only Kuntala, we are never saying that this person, this particular waker is projecting the entire universe. Rather, all of us together are projections of one Turiam, which you really are.
