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 54
54. Thus, entities are not originated from the mind; the mind also for the matter of that is not originated from entities. Thus the wise enter into that is, have to fall back upon, the doctrine of non-origination of cause and effect.
The sense or logic of all this is that as Consciousness Alone exists, and Consciousness is not a substance so does not have substance, Consciousness is not the cause or effect of anything. Without the existence of a "causer" or the existence of an "effected" obviously there is no origination of cause and effect, so they do not exist.
