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 8

8. As the sky becomes to that is, in the opinion of the children, soiled owing to impurities, similarly Atman also becomes to be, in the opinion of the non wise, soiled owing to impurities.

A child might consider the sky dirtied by bad smoke, so the unwise, those seeing duality those that regard others as being separate entities can deny the divinity of others by associating their bad actions with their true being.
