Part VI: The Teacher.1537
He who knows It the immutable Spirit thus; and he who does not know
It thus; both perform Karma by It. Wisdom and Ignorance admit of
innumerable varieties; that alone which is done with knowledge, faith, and
complete surrender, becomes powerful for good.
Chhandogyopanishad.
Even like the radii fixed in the hub of a chariot-wheel, is He, the Eternal
one, pervading everything, and appearing as many, after the forms of the
intellect. Meditate on this thy Self as the syllable Aum. May you be ever
happy in the realization of That which transcends all darkness.
Mundakopanishad.
Seeing the whole universe subject to the law of causation, the Brahmans
understands that there is nothing other than the Self which is the causeless
uncreate, and finding no use in acting up to the ideals of the world feels
supreme contempt for everything. He then repairs, with holy grass in hand,
to the teacher, well-versed in sacred lore and full of the realization of Spirit,
to inquire after the Eternal. The knower explains to him, who with mind
free from all egoism, and with the senses turned within, repairs to him, thus
questioning, that Inner Doctrine which reveals the eternal Self, the highest
Truth.
Mundakopanishad.
The chief help to self-realization is, however, that reflection which comes
of one’s own effort. An the rest, Including the teacher’s grace, and so forth,
are but subordinate means to the end. Attend, therefore, carefully to the
principal means.
Yogavasishtha.
