Mandukya Upanishad
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 43
43. Who, on account of the perception of things, as though they are real go astray, in the case of those frightened of the doctrine of non origination, evils due to belief in origination would not be forthcoming; there the evil again if at all would be negligible (lit, small).
It would seem this verse is confirming that the lack of understanding of this highest truth of non-origination and all of its implications would not prevent one from contemplating the Absolute Self. The difference it seems would be one of full understanding of reality or acceptance of the reality of the Divine. One would not expect the evils of ignorance and duality to lead such aspirants to lose their way.
