To realize the whole universe as the Self is the means of getting rid of bondage. There is nothing higher than identifying the universe with the Self. One realizes this state by excluding the objective world through steadfastness in the eternal Atman. 12.0pt;font-family:"Comic Sans MS""> 12.0pt;font-family:"Comic Sans MS"">355. The Sannyasin, calm, self-controlled, perfectly retiring from the sense-world, forbearing, and devoting himself to the practice of Samadhi, always reflects on his own self being the Self of the whole universe. Destroying completely by this means the imaginations which are due to the gloom of ignorance, he lives blissfully as Brahman, free from action and the oscillations of the mind. 12.0pt;font-family:"Comic Sans MS""> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
