Mandukya Karika, verse 4.27
Text
निमित्तं न सदा चित्तं संस्पृशत्यध्वसु त्रिषु ।
अनिमित्तो विपर्यासः कथं तस्य भविष्यति ॥ २७ ॥
nimittaṃ na sadā cittaṃ saṃspṛśatyadhvasu triṣu |
animitto viparyāsaḥ kathaṃ tasya bhaviṣyati || 27 ||
27. The mind does not enter into causal relation in any of the three periods of time. How can the mind be ever subject to delusion, as there is no cause for any suck delusion?
