The Upanishads - Mandhata Global

23
Corning into birth may be real or illusory; both views
are equally supported by the scriptures. But that view
which is supported by the scriptures and corroborated
by reason is alone to be accepted and not the other.
24
From such scriptural passages as, "One does not see any
multiplicity in Atman" and "Indra (the Supreme Lord),
through maya, assumes diverse forms", one knows that
Atman, though ever unborn, appears to have become
many only through maya.
25
Further, by the negation of the creation, coming into
birth is negated. The causality of Brahman is denied
by such a statement as "Who can cause It to come
into birth?"
26
On account of the incomprehensible nature of Atman,
the scriptural passage "Not this, not this" negates all
dualistic ideas attributed to Atman. Therefore the
birthless Atman alone exists.
