Mandukya Upanishad

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 82

82. By the apprehension of some object or other again, is continuously covered over or, concealed that Lord easily and is always uncovered with difficulty.

This verse warns of the dangers of falling for the attractions of worldly phenomena or sense pleasures, because it reminds us that the still, unmoving, blissful truth of the Absolute Self is easily covered by the loud attractions of Creation. This still centre of truth is more easily lost than it is found is the meaning here.
