Guest guest Posted February 20, 2009 Report Share Posted February 20, 2009 Verily is Brahman the great unborn that dwells within the lotus of the heart, surrounded by the senses. He is the intellect of the intellect, protector of all, lord of all, king of all. Good works do not make him more, nor do evil works make him less. Lord, king, protector of all, he transcends the three worlds. Let therefore the wise aspirant, knowing Brahman to be the supreme goal, so shape his life and his conduct, that he may attain to Him. --Brihadaranyaka Upanishad-- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
