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 39
39. This is verily, the "non touch Yoga" by name, difficult to be realised by all ordinary Yogins; the Yogins are indeed afraid of it, seeing fear in something free from fear.
The meaning here is that this Yoga or method of learning that leads to Self Realisation, the realisation of Non-Duality is a path for the dedicated. The reference to ordinary Yogins means aspirants who follow a path with an understanding of duality only.
It is the dual mind that sees fear due it perceiving of an other. Where there is another there is desire competition ambition and fear.
