The Upanishads - Mandhata Global

seeing the footprints of birds in the sky.
29
The cause, Brahman, from which the birthless mind is
asserted, by the dualists, to have been born is itself
unborn. Because Brahman is ever unborn, therefore it is
never possible for It to be other than what It is.
30
If, as the dualists contend, the world is beginningless,
then it cannot be non-eternal. Moksha (Liberation)
cannot have a beginning and be eternal.
31-32
If a thing is non-existent in the beginning and in the end,
it is necessarily non-existent in the present. The objects
that we see are really like illusions; still they are
regarded as real. The utility of the objects of waking
experience is contradicted in dreams; therefore they are
certainly unreal. Both experiences have a beginning and
an end.
All entities seen in dreams are unreal, because they are
perceived inside the body. How is it possible for things
that are perceived to exist, really to exist in Brahman,
which is indivisible and homogeneous?
