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 55

55. As long as there is the obsession of cause and effect, so long is the uprising of cause and effect; when the obsession of cause and effect ceases to exist, there is no uprising of cause and effect.

We take the term "obsession with cause and effect" to mean the seeing of cause and effect to be a reality. Cause and effect are assumed by most to be the nature of existence. This assumption goes hand in hand with the acceptance of the reality and birth or origination of objects and phenomena.
When originality is seen and realised to be illogical, then the proper implications of cause and effect will be understood and so seen to be non-existent. It then follows That cause and effect will not figure in ones understanding so divine discrimination will become clarified.
