If everything is “tattva” then where is destructible and indestructible? It’s all what we see, feel or hear through our senses. Whatever we can sense we term as destructible, that’s all.

The Upanishads are saying that we, as human beings, are calling the destructible as indestructible. To experience the indestructible we need to struggle a lot and see the ultimate Unity.

But I have a question on the last paragraph. If everything is said to be made up of the same tattva then how can something be destructible in one case, making it ephemeral and indestructible in the other making it Eternal?
