As Ramana pointed out in the post below, when thought is absent, there is no concept of a "world". There is only raw perception which hasn't been conceptually split into seer and seen. It is, at heart, a nameless and boundless experience. Identification with thought is God's way of forgetting itself. It seems to become completely immersed in the game of consciousness, this is only an appearance though - in reality, the being/consciousness/bliss of Brahman is always present.
With the arisal of mistaking ideas for reality comes what we call the "universe" of objects and every conceptual division that can be imagined. This pseudo reality is superimposed over the infinite, undivided being of Brahman. One interesting thing to note, though, is that this very idea of separation is only another movement of the God energy. God is playing hide and seek with itself and it always wins. Every false mask is stripped away. Every cherished belief is put aside, revealing everywhere and in all things the face of God - the infinite.
