Guest guest Posted December 27, 2008 Report Share Posted December 27, 2008 The individual self, deluded by forgetfulness of his identity with the divine Self, bewildered by his ego, grieves and is sad. But when he recognizes his worshipful Lord as his own true Self, and beholds his glory, he grieves no more. When the seer beholds the Effulgent One, the Lord, the supreme Being, then transcending both good and evil, and freed from impurities, he unites himself with Him. The Lord is the one life shining forth from every creature. This Effulgent Self is to be realized within the lotus of the heart. Truth alone succeeds, not untruth, by truthfulness the path of felicity is opened up, the path which is taken by the sages, freed from cravings, and which leads them to truth's eternal abode. Brahman is supreme, he is self-luminous, he is beyond all thought. Subtler than the subtlest is he, farther than the farthest, nearer than the nearest, He resides in the lotus of the heart of every being. The subtle Self within the living and breathing body is realized in that pure Consciousness wherein is no duality. -Mundaka Upanishad- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
