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 98

98. All entities are those who have never secured any covering, naturally unsullied; they are enlightened as well as liberated from the beginning so understand the Leaders the wise.

All entities, all souls, remain as the Absolute Singularity Alone. This is the meaning here.
For the sake of expediency or understanding the projection of individual souls forming different aspects of perception are only the vibration of the One knowledge of the One Consciousness, this has been explained earlier in this Karika. There has never been any covering of any consciousness to form an individual soul. All such apparitions of separate consciousnesses or souls are due to Maya. In reality Consciousness is eternally (from the beginning) pure knowledge and unattached.
The wise, the Self Realised Sage does not forget this, this is the highest truth.
