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 17
17. The dualists are firmly fixed in their laying out of their conclusions; they contradict one another; this (Ajativada) does not conflict with them.
The meaning here is that duality is the basis for all contradiction. An understanding that rises from duality will have built in error, it will be fatally because it is based on ignorance of the reality of unity, non-duality. Being in error there will always be disparity, conflict.
The understanding and actions that encompass non-duality, that are Self aware have no nature of duality or conflict.
