The Spirit of the Upanishads1598
condition of Spirituality once realized, for, Liberation is no observance, it is
being at harmony with the course of nature.
Panchadasi.
When all desires infesting the heart are entirely given up, the mortal
becomes immortal and lives in Spirit even here. The slough cast off by the
serpent lies dead and lifeless on the ant-hill; so even lies this body; and the
mortal, who is thus disembodied, while yet here, becomes immortal, all life,
all Spirit, all light.
Brhadaranyakopanishad.
The highest Self, all endless bliss, unconditioned limitless consciousness,
being realized, whether through the great texts, or through Yoga, in all
experience whatever, let one lose himself in the ecstasy of Realization, for
he has for ever lost all touch with bondage of every description.
Svarajyasiddhi.
Clad in rich cloth or in the wide expanse of space, having his skin alone
for cover, or buried deep in the ample folds of all-embracing thought,—he
wanders the world like a madman,—like a child, or even like a ghost, when
compared with the unfolded of his race.
Vivekachudamani.
Without having in one’s self the clear light of Self-experience, no one can
appreciate the phenomenal sublimity of another’s experience in the same
line.
Yogavasishtha.
As timber is carried away by the stream to places high and low, so even is the
body led by Law to whatever awaits it at its proper time.
Vivekachudamani.
