The Spiritual Import of the Mahabharata and the Bhagavadgita : Ch - 17.14.
7.The Vision of God-14.
Wonderful indeed is this vision! How could God see God, and where are we at that moment—we cease to be. We are not even earlier, and we shall not be at the time of the vision.
That which was not, will be revealed to be non-existent.
Even a semblance of the ego of human individuality will not be there.
It was not there even earlier, and even now we do not exist, really speaking.
Our non-existence will be revealed in its glory when we are awakened to that higher wakefulness, wherein the whole universe will appear as a dream object.
The dream objects do not exist; we know that very well.
They are phantasms, but they appear to be hard, concretised objects when we are in the state of dream.
They are as hard as stone or flint, but when we wake up, they appear to vaporise into nothingness.
So shall be the fate of this universe of hardness, concreteness and substantiality when God-vision is attained.
