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 59
59. As from a seed made up by illusion, is originated a sprout constituted of it illusion, that sprout is not eternal, nor again liable to annihilation; so likewise, the scheme in respect of entities.
The seed and sprout, or the chicken and the egg are likewise illusions that have no existence. Having no true existence, that is they do not even exist now, they will not exist eternally. Accordingly the non-existent will not come to cease to exist.
This same truth applies to the entities of Creation.
