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 36
36. Unborn, without sleep, without dream, without name, without form, flashing up once for all, and omniscient. There is in this description of Brahman no figurative use in any way whatever.
The description of the Absolute Self as unborn, without sleep or dream, without form and without beginning is said in this verse to be literally the truth, not just figuratively speaking.
