The Spirit of the Upanishads1524
that sympathetic awakening which comes from the word of a teacher. Thou
indeed Art this Real Self, not the phenomenal that appears around.
Svarajyasiddhi.
The ocean transformed, through the action of clouds, into the form of rivers,
etc., ceases to be itself; so indeed hast thou forgotten thyself through the
power of conditions. Oh friend! remember thy full Self, Thou Art The Real
Self, the ground of existence the All.
Svarajyasiddhi.
Where there is anything like duality there alone does one see another;
there alone does one smell another; there alone does one hear another;
there alone does one speak to another; there alone does one think of
another; there alone does one know another. But when all is One Self to
him, what should he smell, and with what? what should he see, and with
what? what should he hear, and with what? what should he speak of, and
with what? what should he think of, and with what? what should he know,
and with what? By what indeed should that be known through, which knows
everything? By what should the Knower be known?
Brhadaranyakopanishad.
It is not attainable by the most constant attendance at lectures. For many,
though hearing numerous such, never know what It is. Strange indeed is the
speaker who speaks of It; stranger still who obtains It; but most strange of
all is he who, being properly instructed by a competent teacher realizes It
in himself and all.
Kathopanishad.
