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 19

19. Incapability to prove, the absence of full knowledge about what is prior and what is posterior, the violation again of the reasonable order in view of this or, thus indeed, non origination in every way has been blazoned forth by the wise.

We suspect or assume that in all the previous cases concerning cause and effect or birth or origination and so forth that Gaudapada has been dealing with the arguments or beliefs of other groups. No attempt has been made by us to research name and list such schools of thought. We point out that the logic and arguments used for the case of origination is clearly wrong in all cases and it is hard to imagine them being offered in that form by any sensible person, nevertheless origination or original birth remains illogical and un-provable. It is has been clearly shown that there is no proof strong or weak to support original birth or origination.
The case for Non-Origination has been clearly and logically proved throughout this Karika.
As a further comment by us the fact of non-origination has long formed the basis for our understanding and it is with profound gratitude that we have Gaudapada´s confirmation and proof.
