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 92
92. All entities by nature itself are well ascertained as Adi buddhas (enlightened from the very beginning); one who has self sufficiency in this way, is capable of securing immortality.
It is being states that all souls without exception are by nature the light of Consciousness. Every sentient being, all persons without exception are the very light of consciousness itself. This effulgent state is the true nature it does not have to be attained in any way is the meaning.
The being who realises that this truth is naturally within and searches within will attain to Self Realisation and immortal freedom it is said.
The implication is that those who believe immortality can be gained through acquisition, either through empirical knowledge or possessions will not realise the Absolute that way.
