When you start learning in your childhood you start with the alphabets and then progress to words and further but that doesn't make the alphabets irrelevant. In your quest for knowledge you first learn what is Brahman and then you go and dissect his creation. What I have been saying is not exactly what is written in Hindu religious texts but my own interpretation of Truth and if you take it with a grain of salt you are well advised as I myself am a sceptic by nature and don't easily accept what the scriptures and other people say. I believe that a person should think logically and not accept paranoid beliefs because whatever a man's viewpoint is easily coloured by paranoid occurrences and taking them to be true. There is so much in our belief system which is amounting to superstition and I only exhort others against such stupidity. There is God I believe and what He is like I beg to differ from others and if I call creation an illusion you cannot call me that as in your opinion everyone is an individual soul and will last till eternity. Everyone to his beliefs , no matter however founded , and if I seem to be ignorant to you that is no loss to me.
