With an Advaita Commentary from our Understanding

by Kenneth Jaques | 31,733 words

The Mandukya Upanishad is a short, just twelve verses, description of the material manifestation and the eventual return to unmanifest form of the Universe....

Verse 27

27 The Loka knowers speak of Atman as People   (Lokas)   as Asnunas,  the Knowers of them   (Asramas,  modes of life)  the Laingas   (grammarians),  or knowers of sex,  as Male,  Female and Neuter;   and others,   as higher and lower.

"The Loka knowers speak of Atman as People  (Lokas)...as Asnunas...grammarians...sex  (male female neuter)...others,  as higher and lower"

It will be through higher knowledge,  that is,  knowledge that is glimpsed through insight and divine discrimination,  that any importance or consideration given to names and objects of Creation will be understood as wrong.  That is,  one will intuitively know that anything that can be perceived through the senses or that is part of this transient Creation will not be It.  No name,  no label,  no mode or state of being will contain the Truth and Reality of the Non-Dual Self.
