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 12

12. In the Madhujnana, that is, Madhuvidya chapter in the Brihadaranyaka Upanishad, in the various or, in each of the pairs (described as Adhidaiva and Adhyatma) is shown up the Highest Brahman, as Akasa is shown up in the earth and in the belly itself.

The Madhu-Vidya Br. 2.5.v1-14 also known as the Honey doctrine because it describes mutual benefits within Creation like the honey and the bee, or the flower and the bee. The meaning being that what appears mutual, that is a duality, is really One, Advaita. The honey and the bee are in reality The Self. Creation does not oppose itself, it is of mutual benefit because it is a unity. As the Akasa or Space is in the earth and the belly the Self is the true substance of all Creation.
