The Spirit of the Upanishads1588
I am Brahman, not at all of the world, never apart from Brahman; I am not
the body, nor have I any body whatever;—I am the unconditioned, eternal
One.
Śankaracharya.
Who, being full of unity, sees not, as in sleep, the least trace of duality,
though seeing it in entire wakefulness; who though acting is, for the same
reason, entirely at rest;—he and no one else is verily the true knower of Self.
Upadesasahasri.
He is all taste and refinement, yet all insipid; He is merciless, yet fondness
itself; He is cruel, yet all compassion; He is beyond desire, yet deep in the
whirl of all desire. All care and anxiety without, like the rest of Mankind,—yet
all quiet and calm within, He stands as if possessed, though ever unpossessed.
Yogavasishtha.
Regaling all content in the nectar of Bliss; fully satisfied in supreme fulfilment
of every duty; there remains nothing for the yogi to do; if anything remain,
he must be just so many removes behind Bliss.
Jivanmuktiviveka.
The least of a thing is greatest if it comes without trouble to any one; without
seeking it of the wicked; and without the least pang at heart.
Mahabharata.
The cycle of strife and struggle will place Brahman in the mouth of all. None,
oh Maitreya! will know it, if intent on the pleasures of sex and stomach.
Jivanmuktiviveka.
