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 64
64. they are all capable of being seen only by the mind of the dream beholder; they do not exist apart from it the mind; so likewise, this capable of being seen only by it, the mind is fancied to be the mind of the dream beholder.
The mind to which the dream containing the creatures occurs is the only mind noted to be aware of the dream, or to be more precise this mind is the only mind that is aware of the creatures. The creatures in fact do not exist apart from this mind that perceives them.
The person that is the dreamer, referring to memory or any faculty of mind to note the dream apparitions assumes that it is his mind that has perceived the occurrence.
