The God of infinite heads and eyes, source of cosmic prosperity, beyond all, Eternal Narayana – the universe subsists in Him.
Like a lotus leaf, the human heart hangs down, dripping drops of cold water for sustaining life.

In its midst is a great flame, facing everywhere, subtle and facing upwards; The Great Being is present – He is Brahma, Shiva, Indra, undying and self-shining!

– Maha Upanishad 1.10 – 13

 

But those who have crossed the Ocean of Illusion – They have reached the High Position.

The means of calming the mind is said to be Yog. This is to be known as having seven stages which lead to Brahman.

There, there is no feeling of ‘You’ and ‘I’, Own or Other, nor the perception of existence or non-existence.

All is calm, needing no support, existing in the ether, eternal, auspicious, devoid of ailment and illusion, name and cause.

– Maha Upanishad 5.41 – 45

 

When the mind is dissolved, through the fading of mental constructions, the fog of cosmic fancies will also stand dissolved.
Then the One, infinite, unborn, pristine and Pure Spirit shines forth within (the mind), as the Cloudless Sky in Autumn.

– Maha Upanishad 5.53

 

This root of the evil tree of empirical life is wicked and must be renounced.
Smitten by this, the worldly man rapidly falls ever lower.

Discarding this wicked tree of self-assertion from one’s life,
In due course, by virtue of the beneficent mode, one achieves Liberation in Peace.

– Maha Upanishad 5.93 – 94

 

Discarding the Lord who reigns in the Heart, those who run after some other God are in fact seeking a Gem after throwing away the Kaustubha Gem which is already in their possession.

– Maha Upanishad 6.20

 

“Consciousness (Spirit) is never an object; all is Self” – this is the essence of all Vedantic doctrines.
Resorting to this sure doctrine, behold (the world), intellectually and freely.

You will independently achieve the Self, the status of Bliss; I am Spirit, these Worlds are Spirit, the directions are Spirit; these manifested beings are Spirit.

– Maha Upanishad 6.78 – 79
