The Spirit of the Upanishads1554
rise above all sense of being and non-being. Find thus full Bliss in absolute
Spiritual Knowing.
Yogavasishtha.
My mind was occupied elsewhere, and I did not see; my mind was occupied
elsewhere, and I did not hear; it is through the mind alone that one sees
or hears. Love, thought, doubt, belief, unbelief, patience, impatience,
intelligence, shame, fear, all make up the mind.
Brhadaranyakopanishad.
Mind alone is, to men, the cause of bondage or liberation;—lost in the
enjoyment it leads to bondage, emptied of the personal it leads to liberation.
Panchadasi.
The light of Spirituality breaks not in full force upon that puny thing which is
all beclouded with fear of the world, with pride of learning; and with love
of life.
Smrti.
The father, being victim of Illusion, bewails the loss of his son, taking him
for dead, though he be full of life in some far off land. On the other hand,
he does not bewail even though his son be dead, till the information has
reached him. It is plain, the cause of bondage lies in the mental creation.
Panchadasi.
You may drink the ocean dry; you may uproot from its base the mountain
Meru; you may swallow fire. But more difficult than all these, oh Good One!
is control over the mind.
Panchadasi.
