The teaching of Māṇḍūkya Upaniṣad Kārikā is called aspārśa-yoga or asleśa-yoga. Aspārśa means disconnected or unrelated, while asleśa means embracing. Thus one who has realized Brahman, the Self, situated in turīya consciousness, adopts the view of ajata-vāda, that the material world is unborn—it doesn't really exist. But that doesn't mean that we try to suppress, deny or ignore it; instead we should embrace and accept it, but without attachment or identification.
