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 73
73. What is on account of the imagined phenomenal experience, that exists not in reality. It may exist in accordance with the phenomenal experience accepted in other schools of philosophy, but it exists not in reality.
It is recognised in this verse that some believe or accept duality and consequently believe the reports of their senses. That is they believe in the reality of objects and phenomena, they believe these objects have true existence.
This verse insists all such objects are empty of true existence. They do not exist in truth. The delusion of duality persists in such schools of belief only because once a person accepts duality, therefore does not question it, then all the delusions that arise from duality go unchallenged.
