How is Brahman's existence described, and how does it relate to the dissolution of objects like a pot?

📖 Chapter 50

According to the wisdom in Chapter 50, Brahman's existence-nature is eternal and does not depend on being perceived by the mind or senses. The text refutes the idea that only what is perceptible exists. An analogy is used to explain this: when a pot is broken, its form as a 'pot' is destroyed, but the remaining shards are indicators of its continued existence. Though the 'pot-effect' is gone, the pot's fundamental existence is not destroyed. This illustrates that the dissolution of an effect never results in absolute nothingness (shunya), because the Soul is the root of a universe where everything is a circle based on this persistent existence.
