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 49
49. When the firebrand is verily shaking up, the appearances do not arise from anything else; as a result of non shaking up, the appearances are not elsewhere other than there, nor do they enter the firebrand.
When the firebrand is being moved in patterns the (illusions of) patterns do not come from anywhere or anything else. When the firebrand is again still the (illusions of) patterns do not go anywhere else nor do they go into the firebrand. It should be noted that the term "back into" the firebrand has not been used here.
