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 10
10. All entities are by nature freed from old age and death. Wishing for old age and death, they deviate from their nature by the thought of them.
The proof of the true nature of all beings being immortal has been established using various means in each of the first three chapters of this Karika.
What has been shown is that the Absolute Self Alone exists as a Singularity. This singularity is unoriginated, unborn and therefore immortal. This singularity is knowledge and consciousness Absolute. This Absolute being That alone that has true Existence means that all that truly exists of beings is immortal and it has been shown that a beings true existence is Consciousness Alone.
A being that wishes for old age and death or assumes that is part of his nature does not know his true nature, who he really is.
