Sri Sri Babathakur, who is tattvabetta purus (the supreme authority to talk about tattva i.e. the absolute reality) says that the real nature of everything is Self-Divine. According to Him the entire phenomenal universe is nothing other than the projection of Self-Divine on, to, by, of, for, from, with and beyond beyond Self-Divine. That means from the stand point of the Self-Divine nothing other than the Self-Divine exists at all. The manyness i.e. variation, varieties which is experienced in mundane life is according to Him "The sportful dramatic sameside game of Self-Consciousness." This can surely be realised through disciplined, sincere and dedicated practice under the guidence of the Sadguru, the Divine Himself.
He points out that due to deep oblivious nature of us (i.e. the jivas or the monads or the spirit souls) about our true-nature, real-nature i.e. Self-Divine we experience our individual self through our mind to be limited, bound, dominated by the eight-fold bindings of Prakriti (the outer nature or the apparent nature).
Sometimes sportfully Sri Sri Babathakur compares these 'astapash' in Bengali the eithtfold ties, bounds with the deadly grip from the eight tentacles of the marine creature, octopuss. As the preys of the octopuss succumb to the fetal grip of the eitht tentacles so the jiva or the monads similarly looses their state of peace, bliss, freedom to the eithtfold ties of nature(apparent nature) and reels under the state similar to loss of paradise.
The only hope for us the jivas or monads is to surrender our ego completely under the lotus-feet of Sri Sri Babathakur the Sadguru Himself (not a personality only but beyond beyond) and listin with rapt attention to His speaches which is the key to regain our lost paradise, the real nature of everything, the Self-Divine.
