From the non-existence of all, Brahman is perceived as everything

When all things are examined and found to lack independent existence, what remains is not nothing — it is Brahman. This is the via negativa in its purest form: not “nothing exists” but “nothing exists independently.” The negation of independence is not the negation of appearance. The world appears; Brahman is. The appearance depends on Brahman; Brahman does not depend on the appearance. When the appearance is seen as appearance — not as independent reality — it becomes transparent, and Brahman shines through it.
