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 38

38. Owing to the production not being quite established, all is laid down as unoriginated. And there is no origination in any way of the non existent from the existent.

This is the main purport here. Origination (birth) is not just unproven it has been shown to be non-existent, origination has never hapend. Further, nothing having real existence can be found. That is, there exists nothing that is without cause or dependency other than Primal Consciousnes itself. Further it has been well demonstrated that all objects of perception are empty of true existence, witness the clay pot as being simply earth in another form and so forth.
The sensible conclusion is that because there is no origination in any way, that is again, there are no original objects. All objects are non-existent, they only appear to exist, they have an appearance in consciousness only.
