Guest guest Posted May 11, 2009 Report Share Posted May 11, 2009 There is a city with eleven gates belonging to the unborn Atman of undistorted Consciousness. He who meditates on Him grieves no more; liberated from the bonds of ignorance, he becomes free. This, verily, is That. He is the sun dwelling in the bright heavens. He is the air in the interspace. He is the fire dwelling on earth. He is the guest dwelling in the house. He dwells in men, in the gods, in truth, in the sky. He is born in the water, on earth, in the sacrifice, on the mountains. He is the True and the Great. He it is who sends prana upward and who leads apana downward. All the devas worship that adorable One seated in the middle. When the soul, identified with the body and dwelling in it, is torn away from the body, is freed from it, what then remains? This, verily, is That? No mortal ever lives by prana, which goes up, nor by apana, which goes down. Men live by something different, on which these two depend. Yajur Veda, Katha Upanishad, Part Two, Chapter II, 1-5; courtesy= http://www.himalayanacademy.com = nandinatha sampradayam. suresh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
