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 96
96. The unoriginated knowledge is fancied or, regarded as not crossing over to the unoriginated entities; as the knowledge does not cross over, it is therefore proclaimed to be without attachment.
Unoriginated knowledge is the knowledge that is the unoriginated Consciousness itself. The Absolute is said to be Truth (knowledge) Consciousness and Bliss. This knowledge, This Truth, is as Existence Itself. It is this Knowledge and Consciousness that supports the illusion of Entities. This knowledge does not " cross over" to, and is not a property or effect of entities or anything else. Being the underlying stratum of all phenomena it remains unattached to anything because also there is not anything else that Exists apart from Knowledge (truth) and Consciousness.
