Sri Subrahmanian Ji quoted from BSB 3.3.1



<< अपवादो नाम — यत्र कस्मिंश्चिद्वस्तुनि पूर्वनिविष्टायां मिथ्याबुद्धौ
निश्चितायाम्, पश्चादुपजायमाना यथार्था बुद्धिः पूर्वनिविष्टाया मिथ्याबुद्धेः
निवर्तिका भवति — यथा देहेन्द्रियसङ्घाते आत्मबुद्धिः, आत्मन्येव आत्मबुद्ध्या
पश्चाद्भाविन्या ‘तत्त्वमसि’ (छा. उ. ६-८-७)

 इत्यनया यथार्थबुद्ध्या निवर्त्यते — यथा वा दिग्भ्रान्तिबुद्धिः
दिग्याथात्म्यबुद्ध्या निवर्त्यते  >>.



I would draw particular attention to  ‘तत्त्वमसि’ (छा. उ. ६-८-७)
<http://advaitasharada.sringeri.net/php/format.php?bhashya=Chandogya&page=06&hval=%E2%80%98%E0%A4%A4%E0%A4%A4%E0%A5%8D%E0%A4%A4%E0%A5%8D%E0%A4%B5%E0%A4%AE%E0%A4%B8%E0%A4%BF%E2%80%99%20(%E0%A4%9B%E0%A4%BE.%20%E0%A4%89.%20%E0%A5%AC-%E0%A5%AE-%E0%A5%AD)#Ch_C06_S08_V07>
 इत्यनया यथार्थबुद्ध्या निवर्त्यते. It is ONLY through the right knowledge (
ज्ञानम्) regarding ONESELF(जीव)  that the firm conviction (अपरोक्ष ज्ञानम्
aparokSha j~nAnam) of जगन्मिथ्यात्वम् (jaganmithyAtvam)  is established.
There is no other way, whether it is upasana,karma,dhyana,Samadhi(yogic)
etc.  जीवो ब्रह्मैव नापरः (jIvo brahmaiva nAparaH  ) knowledge leads to the
conviction ब्रह्म सत्यं जगन्मिथ्या.( brahma satyaM jaganmithyA)
