The Spirit of the Upanishads1518<br />

ever present in the hidden consciousness of all which passes out in all acts<br />

of mind and body.<br />

Mundakopanishad.<br />

One so freed from the bondage of senses transcends all material relation,<br />

and becoming all supreme light, regains his own Self. This indeed is Self. It is<br />

beyond mortality, beyond fear, It is Truth;—Truth is only another name of<br />

The Absolute.<br />

Chhandogyopanishad.<br />

There cannot be any room for separateness in that intransmutable, formless,<br />

characterless, Absolute Being which is beyond the relations of subject,<br />

object, instrument, etc., which is every way full to the utmost, like the waters<br />

surging above all things at the great cyclic deluge. In it merges the cause of<br />

illusion like darkness in light;—there, verily, can be nothing like separateness<br />

in It, the highest Essence, without character, and ever one without a second.<br />

Vivekachudamani.<br />

That is the form of the highest Self wherein the world of subject and object<br />

though existing does not exist, and which though all akasa has no touch<br />

with it. It is all void and yet as if it were no void, the world is naught in it, it<br />

continues to be completely void though full of numberless worlds upon<br />

worlds.<br />

Yogavasishtha.<br />

The whole of this cosmos is One Self, there is no room for the idea of body<br />

and its like. That is all that is, all bliss, whatever thou seest is all thought.<br />

Yogavasishtha.
