Part II: The Absolute.1517<br />

light, no life, no mouth, no form, no break, no without;—It enjoys nothing or<br />

is enjoyed by nothing.<br />

Brhadaranyakopanishad.<br />

Objects transcend the senses; the mind transcends objects; the intellect<br />

transcends the mind; the mahat (i.e. cosmic consciousness) transcends<br />

intellect (i.e. individual intellect); the avyakta (i.e. the undifferenced first<br />

cause), transcends the mahat; the Real Self transcends the avyakta;—<br />

are killed. It is smaller than an atom, greater than the universe, It is present<br />

in the heart of all beings. The glory of this Self is realized by him the whole<br />

of whose sensibility returns to a state of placid calmness through absence<br />

of desire; he alone passes to the other side of this ocean of sin and sorrow.<br />

Kathopanishad.<br />

Truth alone conquers, not falsehood, the divine path stands upheld by<br />

Truth; sages with desires put out by satiety pass over it to the great treasure<br />

of Truth. It (the Truth) is all-embracing yet unthinkable, all light, minutest of<br />

the minute yet ever manifest. It is farthest of all yet ever near in all beings,
