Atman is called birthless (aja) from the standpoint of<br />

false knowledge based upon imagination; in reality It is<br />

not even birthless. <strong>The</strong> unborn Atman is said to be born<br />

from the standpoint of the false knowledge cherished by<br />

other schools of thought.<br />

People persistently hold to the idea of unreality i.e.<br />

duality. But such duality does not exist. One who has<br />

realized the absence of duality is not born again, since<br />

there remains no longer any cause for his birth.<br />

When the mind finds no cause-superior, inferior, or<br />

middling-it becomes free from birth. How can there<br />

be an effect without a cause?<br />

77<br />

<strong>The</strong> birthlessness of the mind, which is free from<br />

manifestation and causal relationship, is absolute and<br />

constant. For duality i.e. the perceiving mind and its<br />

objects is merely an objectification of the mind.<br />
