Yajnavalkya

It's not for the husband's sake that he is loved, but for the sake of the self, which is one with the Supreme Self.

It is the Self that should be realized, and this can be achieved through hearing, reflection, and meditation. By realizing the Self, everything becomes known.

Just like a lump of salt dissolves in water and can't be separated again, yet gives the water its salty taste everywhere, this immense and infinite reality is purely intelligent.

However, when all becomes one with the Self, what is there to perceive, and through what means? What is there to see, hear, speak, think, or know, and by what medium?

One who knows this overcomes further death.

one becomes good through good actions and evil through evil actions.

It is that which transcends hunger, thirst, grief, delusion, old age, and death.

Everything else but this is perishable.

The one who inhabits the earth, yet is within it, unknown to the earth, with the earth as his body, and controlling it from within, is your true self, the inner controller, the immortal.

The one who dwells in all parts of space, yet is within them, and is not known by them, is the Self, the Inner Controller, the Immortal.

The one who dwells in all beings, yet is within them, and is not known by them, is the Self, the Inner Controller, the Immortal.

The one who dwells in the mind, yet is within it, and is not known by it, is the Self, the Inner Controller, the Immortal.

Whoever knows the Being that has the earth as its body, fire as its vision, and the mind as its light, and is the ultimate support of the body and all its organs, truly knows, O Yajnavalkya.

Whoever knows the Being that has colors as its body, the eye as its vision, and the mind as its light, and is the ultimate support of the body and all its organs, truly knows, O Yajnavalkya.

Whoever knows the Being that has darkness as its body, the intellect as its vision, and the mind as its light, and is the ultimate support of the body and all its organs, truly knows, O Yajnavalkya.

Who is His deity? Yajnavalkya said, "Death."

The sun finds its support in the eye, and the eye finds its support in the colors it sees.

The truth finds its support in the heart, because it is through the heart that we come to know the truth.

The vital breath is the Supreme Brahman. It never leaves those who meditate on it with this understanding; all beings approach them, and they become like gods, attaining a divine state.

The eye is the Supreme Brahman. It never leaves those who meditate on it with this understanding; all beings approach them, and they become like gods, attaining a divine state.
