The Spirit of the Upanishads1534
He who sees himself in All, and All in himself, attains to the empire of Self,
thus worshipping Self and looking on all things with equal eye.
Manu.
Knowing the great all-pervading Self, through whom is experienced the
whole of dream and waking, the wise never become subject to sorrow.
Kathopanishad.
As surely as water showered on a table-land seeks the lower ground, so
indeed does one seeing variety in the attributes of Personality, become
attached to them in future. As water poured upon a clear even surface
stands ever pure and undefiled, so stands the Self of the silent knower.
Kathopanishad.
This body is the city, with nine gates, wherein dwells the unborn, unfailing
Consciousness. He who knows this well never comes to grief, and is liberated
twice over.
Kathopanishad.
These rivers flowing to and gaining the ocean lose themselves in it, lose even
their name and form, and become included in the name “Ocean.” So do all
the sixteen forms of the objective flowing to and gaining the Self become
lost in Him. They lose even their name and form, and become included in
the Self. This Self is the immortal, transcending all forms of the mortal, This
is thus summed up:—That death may not overpower thee, know the only
knowable, the Self, in whom are centred all forms like the radii of a chariotwheel
in its hub.
Prasnopanishad.
