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 29

29. As through Maya the mind in dream vibrates into the appearance of two (grahya and agrahaka), so through Maya the mind in the waking state vibrates into the appearance of two agrahva and grahaka.

That dreams present the same illusion of duality due as the waking state is known. Mind working and perceiving itself as a separate entity is the cause of the perception of duality.
