Annotation

1) It is common knowledge that an effect such as pot comes from a cause such as clay. Effect does not exist in the absence of a cause. Similarly, one has to enquire into the cause for this universe. Such enquiry has four pre–requisites, which are mentioned in the Upanishads. These are being explained in the following verses (Jagadguru). The word ‘niṣṭhā’ is to be firmly abiding in something. Here sat–niṣṭhā means abidance in Brahman.
