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 32

32. Being possessed of a purpose in the case of the entities in the waking state is contradicted in the dream; therefore they indeed are traditionally known as unreal and nothing else on account of their having a beginning and an end.

This verse is repeated from chapter 2 verse 7. A person may be in England when going to bed but in France while dreaming, at least one situation or purpose is unreal, and it is the dream situation that is normally assumed to be the unreality.
