Episode: Māṇḍūkya Upaniṣad 7—Disappearance of the World
Description: Where does the world go when we go to sleep? Ādi Śaṅkarācārya writes in his commentary on Māṇḍūkya Upaniṣad mantra 7 that it doesn't disappear—because like the rope mistaken for a snake, the world never existed in the first place. So when we change from jagrat to svapna and suṣupti consciousness, only the *delusion* that the world is real and permanent disappears.
